Avocado Oil For Group A


QUESTION

I am a Type A and have been doing your Blood Type Diet for 8 months (fairly religiously) with huge benefits. I note that avocado is a neutral food from the fruit/vegetable list. A new product on the market here in New Zealand is cold pressed avocado oil which is delicious - is this a good thing for an A Type? Personally I find it a rather nice substitute for olive oil especially on salads and steamed vegetables.

ANSWER

TYPEbase II list avocado neutral for blood group A and blood group O non-secretors. The oil is not atherogenic (causing excessive artery plaque formation) so it would rank as 'neutral' for blood group A. Note: since avocado can be problematic for the other blood groups, they should consider avocado oil an avoid no different than avocado. Until further elaboration, group O non-secretors should consider the oil an avoid.




The Ask Dr. D'Adamo internet advice column ran from 1996 to 2009, at which time Dr. D'Adamo's teaching and programming responsibilities no longer allowed him to devote time and resources to directly answering visitor questions. However we've recently reorganized this treasure-trove of material and made it again available to his readership. He occasionally posts new entries. These are marked with a NEW tag.
