The diet is based on the principles of naturopathic physician James D'Adamo, who says that human blood type and food are closely related. The blood type diet is based on the postulate that during the evolution of mankind, the composition of the blood changed and was closely related to the type of food consumed by the vast majority of the population in a given period of time.
Despite the presence of a certain logic in this statement, there is no scientific basis based on evidence for particular food by blood type. Some idea of food correspondence for people with different blood types is given in the table below for foods by blood type.
