Questions About The Diets

Wheatgrass and Blood Group A

QUESTION

On Page 98 of ER4YBT you state that "Wheat is a mixed factor in the Type A diet." My question is...what about "wheatgrass? May Type A's consume this and if so how much a day i.e., 1-3 teaspoons in concentrated form dissolved in water or juice. Thank you for taking the time to help us all!!!

ANSWER

The sprouting of wheat into wheat grass destroys the lectin that is problematic in wheat. Sprouting also beneficially changes the nutrient profile of this grain, resulting in a nutrient-dense, enzyme-rich superfood. Because of these factors, I consider wheat grass to be an excellent addition to the diet for all blood types. As far as an amount, use your own judgement. Because of the concentrated nature of this food, a little goes a long way, so if you have not enjoyed wheat grass juice before, start with a smaller amount.

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.
