Quoted from chud


So are you denying the possibility that regularly consuming a certain food (an avoid) over time may put you at risk of developing a certain disease?  If so, it would seem that you are denying the possibility of avoids all together.



I'm not at all denying the relationship between regularly consuming a food and the risk of disease.
If I didn't believe in the whole concept of BTD/GTD, I wouldn't be such a strict follower of the diet.

However, except in the case of allergies and those rare instances when eating a food immediately kills you, the relationship between eating that food and developing a certain disease is not 1-on-1, meaning: not every type B consuming chicken will develop a stroke, not all A's eating red meat will develop colon cancer.
That's not to say there's no correlation and that's not to say there's not a higher risk for B's and stroke or A's and colon cancer.

But as I said earlier, I agree with san j that we should be careful in how we put this risk into words.
