Blood type A's should not have liquid milk, but milk fat (cream, butter, ghee) is ok. Fermented milk products ok like cheese, mozzarella is best for A's...try not to eat too much dairy. Avoid nightshade veggies such as tomatoes, potatoes, peppers, eggplant, tomatillos, ground cherry, tobacco. A's aren't supposed to be able to comfortably digest red meats too well and should stick more to the lighter meats such as fowl and fish. Soybeans are good for A's. Most beans are excellent for A's, in fact, but don't eat kidneys, limas or garbanzos. I personally found that by giving up liquid milk and concentrated tomato sauce (yes, spaghetti and salsa) I made an *enormous* difference in my health. I am, I have found, a rare A-type in that I have no trouble with red meats. In fact, beef and bison help me control my blood sugars better. When I feel I'm out of control with my blood sugars, I eat steak. It brings it right down, but that's not to say all A's should eat that way. My Dad was an A and had trouble with beef, but I don't. (My Mom was an O, Dad was an A, I'm an A, sister is an O)
