Hi, !

I see that you got your baptism by fire on the PaleoDiet List! I'm sorry

about that. When I first subbed and posted my thoughts on something, it

was called " silly. " Some of those guys are like that. They really don't

know that ABO blood types are determined by lectins, and it makes sense

that some lectins in foods could be compatible with some of the lectins

that typed your blood (Beneficials); some could be averse (Avoids), and

others might not have any impact (Neutrals). They do know about toxic

lectins, which are found in the Neolithic foods--grains, legumes, and

dairy--no matter the blood type. Apparently they do not agglutinate the blood.

A thought struck me just today that it is probably next to impossible to

eat a Paleo Diet, because most of our food did not exist back in those

days. It has been tampered with, not just today's gene splicing, but

yesterday's

cross breeding and selective breeding. Luther Burbank comes to mind as big

in this. I read somewhere that our ancient ancestors ate leafy greens that

were much more bitter than ours, fruits have been bred to be much sweeter

and larger, grains are much bigger and wheat has a lot more gluten in

it. I may post something to this effect next time the knuckle draggers

mouth off.

Sorry for the off topic digression. I hope some of this info is

interesting to the rest of this list.
