Reader's Digest on Naturopathy's Blood Type Diet 2018: "A Parlor Trick" With "No Peer-Reviewed Scientific Studies" [and it has been 22 years!]

here, talk about 'a wait for a train that was promised and will never arrive' [aka DO STUDIES if you make objective claims]:

001. at rd.com, Claire Nowak writes in "The Blood Type Diet: Does It Really Work?" (2018-04-26) (2018 archived):

"diets [...] only one looks to your blood type to determine what you should or shouldn’t eat. The blood type diet originated from the 1996 book Eat Right for Your Type by naturopathic physician Peter J. D’Adamo. The idea behind it is that your body’s response to food is directly linked to your blood type, based on what your ancestors with the same blood type ate [...] Dr. Charlie Seltzer, MD, calls the blood type diet a 'parlor trick' but doesn’t consider the diets overtly unhealthy [...] there are no peer-reviewed scientific studies that have found evidence to support or recommend the blood type diet [...] evidence that the blood type diet actually works remains unproven. That alone implies a risk in testing it yourself [...]";

oh snap.

002. by the way, in that 1996 book, we're told:

"[by way of Pizzorno, J.E. (ND NCNM 1975)] Bastyr University [...its] mission has been to bring to the world the benefits of credible, science-based natural medicine [...] Dr. Peter D'Adamo [is] a graduate of our first class of naturopathic physicians in 1982 [p.328...]";

and that was 1996. 22 years later, as a microcosm, BU still has homeopathy and kind within its naturopathy, and still they quite falsely term it all "science-based".  Quite the parlor trick. Quite incredible.
