nutritious diet. While the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommend a balanced diet of fruits, vegetables, lean meat, and poultry, the blood type diet suggests that nutritional needs depend mainly on a person’s blood type.The blood type diet tailors an individual’s eating patterns to specific food items to maximize the health benefits.
However, a 2013 review in The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition found that these claims lacked scientific evidence.When looking at cardiometabolic factors, or a person’s chance of stroke, diabetes, and heart disease, the findings of a 2014 study did not support tailoring diets to blood types.
