Clarification of Alkalizing and Blood Type
A member recently asked me a very good question. Under Blood
type "O", why is Mango and Ginger listed more than one time? Is it
an error?
Blood Type "O"
Mango: Beneficial List - Moderate Alkalinity
- Not Determined
Ginger: Beneficial List - Moderate Alkalinity
Avoid List – Not Determined
The Alkalizing Blood Type Diet is a merged list from Dr. Morter, Dr.
Baroody, Peter D'Adamo, etc. Since the doctors don't always agree
on every single food, I decided rather than eliminate one doctor's
opinion on a food, I would list both different opinions and allow
the reader to decide.
One doctor felt Mangos are Beneficial and Moderately Alkaline, while
another doctor felt Alkalinity was not determined, but agreed it is
Beneficial for Blood Type "O". I feel this is a minor disagreement
about the level of Alkalinity, since both agreed it is Beneficial.
I would eat Mangos, since I'm an "O".
One doctor felt Ginger is Beneficial, and Moderately Alkaline, while
another doctor disagreed, and felt Blood Type "O" should avoid
Ginger. When in doubt, error on the side of caution and pick the
conservative opinion – avoid Ginger for Blood Type "O".
