when i eat a potato for example, my body will say "ok we have a potato here guys" "but we don't really like all the stuff in a potato so we are not going to take everything out of it because we are a blood group O"
"Had we been a blood group A, we would have taken a lot more out of this particular type of food, hence it would be more beneficial to a person with blood group A then a person who was blood group O"

Thats the way i understood it, simply put. she was saying that different blood groups take different things from items of food. so if your going to eat, you may as well eat the things that are the best things for you.
She said that certain foods that a person may eat may cause certain conditions to arise, such as asthma. Leaving those foods out of your diet is obviously beneficial.

That was my take on the discussion anyway

Never mind, isn't it weird though that a woman, obviously well employed doing what she's doing, may actually be telling a whole load of horse shit

From a totally non nutritionist point of view it looks like a lot of hokum but if people like it and feel it works for them then what the hell do I know
