DESCRIPTION: A systematic review finds no evidence to support the notion that people should choose diets based on their blood type.
So rarely are popular press diet books afforded such fact-checking. Kudos to these researchers. If only we had this 13 years ago when the book was on the bestseller list!
I have a few videos on popular diets, such as:
• Paleolithic Lessons (
• Atkins Diet: Trouble Keeping It Up? (
• Low Carb Diets and Coronary Blood Flow (
I also wrote a book about low-carb diets, which is now available free online full-text at AtkinsFacts.org (
Unfortunately, nutrition illiteracy is not just a problem among the public, but among the medical profession:
• Doctors’ Nutritional Ignorance (
• Do Doctors Make the Grade? (
• Medical School Nutrition Education (
• Doctors Know Less Than They Think About Nutrition (
• Medical Associations Oppose Bill to Mandate Nutrition Training (
