Diet according to blood type

The diet is based on the principles of the naturopathic physician James D'Adamo, who stated that blood type and human nutrition are closely related. The blood type diet is based on the postulate that over the course of the evolution of mankind, the composition of blood changed and is closely correlated with the type of food consumed by most of the population over a given period of time.

While there is some logic to this statement, there is no evidence-based scientific basis for separating nutrients by blood type. Some ideas about the correspondence of food products for people with different blood types are given by the table below for foods by blood type.
