Hello, Joao ~ Acne starts (as so many diseases do) in your intestinal tract. The type A diet (yoga is great for this purpose, too!) will eliminate toxins and thereby promote healthy skin. The quantities of nuts, seeds and oil recommended for type A is not excessive ~ but more important, the types of oil, nuts, etc. on your Beneficial and Neutral list will actively improve your digestion, and thus your skin. Keep reading, and give it a good try... I think you'll be very pleasantly surprised! :-)

I am type A, my partner is type O. My question is about sheep milk products. There is nothing specific in the current literature, i.e. the four books by Peter d'Adamo (including the most recent Encyclopedia), on the subject of sheep milk, cheese, yogurt etc. I acknowledge the references that I found through the On the Diet page, but they still do not resolve my questions about the suitability of these products for As and Os. Can you please clarify? An email response would be much appreciated. I heartly applaud the wonderful work that Dr. D and all of you are doing! Thank you so much, T.Y.

:-) T, we have absolutely no rating for sheep milk products. Technically, "unknowns" may be considered "neutrals." Logically, "sheep dairy" is so close in nature to "goat dairy" that I personally view them as equivalent. Absent specific testing of sheep milk and sheep cheeses, that's as clear as I can be! and I'm so glad you're pleased with the books and the site!! :-D

Hi, I'm wondering if you can help. I'm an A pos blood type and apparently soy sauce is OK for me to have according to the blood type diet, but wheat is not. Many soy sauces in Australia list wheat in the ingredients. Is this considered a problem? Also, what is the Amreican term for the vegetable beetroot? I can't seem to find it listed anywhere in the Blood Type Diet book. Beetroot is a bright red vegetable that grows in the ground and is sort of roundish an shape and size of a fist. I would be really grateful if you could respond. best wishes, justine.

Hello, Justine ~ Look for organic wheat-free tamari. I believe San-J is a popular international brand, you may be able to find that one. It is less of a problem for type As than for anyone else, so if you cannot find or order wheat-free tamari, just pick the best one available to you.

Beetroot? Here's one:







The leaves look like spinach or chard, most like what we call "swiss chard," very dark green with ruby-red stem and veining. The root is the deepest red, and will produce berry-like stains. Same as your beetroot? :-)
