Quoted from Carol_the_Dabbler

That got me curious about foods that are OK for only one entire blood type.  This time, B's tied with O's....O (secretor & non): Squirrel, Bass (Blue Gill), Bass (Striped), Clam, Eel, Lobster, Oyster, Shrimp, Gelatin.  Note that they get all the shellfish!

This is another reason that I'm secretly glad I'm an O non.  Shellfish rules!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  And gelatin!!!!!!

btw, ROFLMBO, whimsical, re:  "And the squirrel, woo hoo!"  **

P.S.  Carol (you Dabbler, you), I'm about to make this thread sticky.  Why?  Because this is an original topic, very interesting and informative, that has never been posted on before to my knowledge.  Well done, girlie-girl/Kyosha Nim extraordinairre!

Quoted from C_sharp

The URL below suggests that MSG kills nerve cells.

Us O nons have far too many nerve cells as it is.  We need something to go in there and kill 'em off, thin out the herd.

... this is an original topic, very interesting and informative, that has never been posted on before to my knowledge.

... except by Kate?

Dunno how useful this info is -- just one of those quirky things that catches my attention.  But thanks for the stickiness!

I think it is one of those unuseful, useful things, if you know what I mean

How about 'bennies' for everyone!???????
I made this list:  Green tea, olive oil, plums, parsnips,broccoli, kale, collards, beet greens, black walnuts, & cod.  So, if you go to a dinner & they serve most of these, you know the host is a BTD nut like us!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
S S & L,
Mrs "T"    O+

Thanks for adding that list of -- whatever the opposite of anomalies is, Mrs. T!

Much as I love 'em, though, Parsnips just miss being a Universal Bennie -- they're merely a Neutral for O nonnies.

And what about the Universal Avoids: Pork, Conch, American Processed Cheese, Blue Cheese, Corn Oil, Cottonseed Oil, Black Olives, Rhubarb, Bitter Melon, Soda Pop, Carrageenan, Guar Gum, Aspartame, Sucanat, Acacia (Gum Arabic), and Pepper (the spice).

Did I miss anything?

omit the pepper as being a universal avoid........I believe some can have pepper (the spice) as long as they use a pepper mill.
this advice is due to mold build up in pre ground pepper.

I've heard that, too, Lola, but it's been listed an a Universal Avoid on Typebase for the past few months.  Perhaps that's based on new research.

I suspect that if the Avoid status was based on possible mold contamination, a lot of other things would be Avoids that are not (at least not for everyone) -- other pre-ground spices, for example, and millet, which is notoriously prone to mold, yet is either Neutral or Beneficial for everyone.

I know pepper is not an avoid for me......I never buy or consume pre-ground though.

Interesting re: msg & Ononnies - I've never been bothered by ill effects from it. That I know of. I am, however, brokenhearted  (and rebellious!) about losing crab, which in my own personal case means Alaskan King crab, one of the foods of the gods, darnit. Whine. I wonder if it never bothered me coz I always have it w/drawn butter, which is basically ghee. And tapioca! What's life without tapioca pudding from scratch, right off the stove? Made, of course, with those other avoids, milk and vanilla. Okay, vanilla I don't get at all. Why should vanilla hurt me!?
PS- Thanks for the lists, I really love that kind of information.

oooo C...the D....what are you doing ;) ;) did ya melanged the pedales you wrote tuna...really won't you have a re-looky-looky for US the ROYALS...huh hääääää ??????



THIS IS A FENEBICIAL!!!!!


and sorry what I can't stand for is either linden this is a very bääää for me; only my opinion and anise..yup...too  :-/ :-/ :P :P

Isa -- OOPS!!!  You're absolutely right -- I must have been color-blind when I added tuna to my list.  Green, you silly Dabbler, not Red!  One of these days when I'm looking for something to do, I'll have to proofread those lists!

Suzanna -- the Crab that's listed on Typebase is Blue Crab, not King Crab.  Best guess would probably be that they would test the same, but apparently King Crab has not actually been tested yet, so some would call it a Cautious Neutral.

hmm...crab is crab...like a frogy ....

That is a scary list for us O nonnies, you all better be greatful for being the other blood types.

We pay dearly for being able to eat all that red meat!
The way I see it is that every type has to give something up they really love, & every type gets to eat something special they love that others can't.
Just like life, I guess!

I still am amazed that so few can eat garbanzos.  They are almost a staple in certain parts of the world.
S S & L,
Mrs "T"

Interesting.  I'm an O- secretor and as a kid I tested as allergic to apples and apricots which might lead you to believe that I'm really a nonnie.  Maybe one of these days, I'll do a retest.

Your listing of tuna as avoid for AB had me worried for a minute, as I remember it being beneficial.  I looked it up on this site and it is beneficial.  Was it another fish which started with t you were thinking of?  Just did not want any AB's new to the diet to be confused.

typebase is where most food values have been updated......so always check there whenever
there s a doubt.

which book do you have?

you might also want to check the errata page, to correct any typos from the books:

...Yeah, Kate, but we get the Guarana!
(What's Guarana?)  

Guarana {Paullinia cupana - Sapindaceae}

A Stimulating herb/spice that is used as a 'Caffeine/Cola Substitute'. The benefit is that it generally doesn't give one cramps or anxiety like heavy doses of caffeine.
Apparently it does have Caffeine and the Theobromine like Tea or Coffee, but it is DEFINITELY different in its activity...

Has the taste similar to and looks like (when used as a supplement) Unsweetened Cocoa. In fact, disreputable merchants will sell you Cocoa at 5X the price.

Also, interestingly it reduces platelet aggregation - a potential use as Deflect?...

just for As I m afraid!

This is seriously so awesome.  Something I would do, actually -- maybe it's an A thing?  But, now someone's got to make a list of foods that are OKAY for ALL types and AVOIDS for ALL types.  Of course, it's probably been done.  But anyway, this is super cool.

go to page 1 of this thread....it s all in the first posts by CarolTD.

So, who all can eat avocadoes???? (and, more importantly, why?)(I just won't get off it, will I?)
