well, for what it's worth, d'adamo is not well respected in nutritional

circles. sure, he makes some interesting hypothesises, but i don't think

that he really takes it in the right direction.

a lot of people buy into his thing, and if it works for you that's nifty,

but that's just my $.02

To be fair, this phrase was taken out of the context of the entire sentence

which in fact recommends coconut. The small piece of the sentence that was

quoted is simply D'Adamo's take on coconut. Just one guy who has many

many things other things on the lists in his books that he says should be

avoided by certain or all blood types. While I like his " big picture " stuff

on the anthropology of blood types, his food recommendations stem from his

own particular theory on " lectins in the blood " which is certainly not

substantiated by the science community.

Again, the phrase that Francine quoted and Bee responded to missed the point

of the entire sentence (which wasn't quoted.) The phrase that immediately

followed d'Adamo contradicted his recommendation. The effect of the entire

sentence in fact recommends coconut.

What is the sentence that you are referring to? I have most of his

books and could not find anything that remotely said that he was for

coconut. I in fact stopped eating coconut oil because of it but now I

am back with the oil. All in all he does have some good info in the books.
