O astrologiji krvnih skupin - zakaj krvne skupine AB0 ne dolocajo clovekovega znacaja niti njegove prehrane

AB0 blood groups are inherited markers on blood cells. Since their discovery, there have been numerous attempts to attribute to them a wide variety of biological functions they do not possess. The purpose of this article is primarily to inform the professional as well as lay public that the theory of healthy nutrition based on AB0 blood groups represents nothing more than a pseudoscience used for mass exploitation and commercial purposes. ABO blood groups were attributed such characteristics by naturopathic doctor Peter DAdamo, who on the basis of false methods and erroneous assumptions wrote a bestseller Eat Right For Your Type. It claims that the blood groups AB0 represent a key to the functioning of our immune system and that the blood- group-based diet represents a key to the health of every man. As in the case of nutrition based on the ABO blood groups, the scientic knowledge in the eld of immunohematology is abused to mislead the lay public, we are obliged to explain the real meaning and the role of blood groups in health and disease, and point out the misuse of blood groups in relation to healthy nutrition.
