Fine, listen to them. But carefully monitor your body fat to make sure you are really making progress. If you are, great.

update = my ldls and triglycerides went down, my HDLs up, and my blood sugar down. My doc was very happy. As was I.

I would like to thank the AHA and ADA for their good advice and the wheat farmers of american (yeah, ive had some other whole grains, including quinoa, but it was mostly wheat) for their contribution to my health.

Congratulations!!

It's good to see someone getting their info from their doc and not someone on the internet who has a que$tionable agenda.

Yes, the pharmaceutical industry and big agriculture corporations who own the FDA and USDA are 100% trustworthy and would never put $ ahead of reality....

"their doc" means - their doctor. Their physician. Physicians are neither the pharmaceutical industry, nor the agriculture corporations. Nor are they the FDA or the USDA. Doctors, for the most part, aren't sheep. Most of them ARE trustworthy, because most of them continue their education and listen to many sources of valid information; not merely what the Rx companies or Monsanto dictate.

If you're finding otherwise, then you're experiencing one of the minority of doctors who are sheep, who only intake what the Rx companies and Monsanto feed them, and spit it out by rote to patients. These types of doctors are in the minority, although the intrawebz conspiracy theorists would have you believe otherwise. If you're unsure about this, check with Al Gore, the inventor of the internet.

I really cant believe that some people think that blood type has anything to do with diet...
type O blood means it doesnt have proteins that type A and B has in their red blood cells, nothing to do with the digestive system.

It has everything to do with it. You need to actually practice it in order to understand it. Read the D'Adamo boards, they are filled with positive testimonies. Blood type is one of the few fad diets in the States that has loads of followers who have been on it 10+ years and are happy & healthy. 5-10 years in to virtually every other system people have problems. Even the Victoria Secret models do it.

In America "real" doctors prescribe drugs, make diagnoses & give death sentences. Many of them also favor the nutritional pyramid which is crap for just about everyone. Why don't you creep on over to the D' Adamo board and ask the blood type As yourself? Or ask.anyone. I have not read many if any posts on there in the last ten years of blood type being "unscientific". 30 days off wheat & my nighttime hand tremors went away. Entirely.
