Two Popular Diet Models:Food Intolerance Test and Diet for Blood Group

This study examined the distribution consistency of the foods and the consumption of which are considered to be "forbidden or limited" by the diet for certain blood groups and of the foods considered to be "forbidden or limited" at the end of food intolerance test. The study group was composed of 102 individuals that took the food intolerance test. Foodprint®200+test, which is part of Cambridge Food Intolerance Tests, (Cambridge Nutritional Sciences-Turkey) was given to the participants, and the results were analyzed in the Cambridge Turkey laboratories. The participants identified their own blood groups. One sample ratio test was used for statistical analysis. The distribution of the participants with type A blood to the foods suggested to be "forbidden and limited" for this blood group was found not to show 80 per cent consistency at the end of the food intolerance test (p>0.05). Another similar inconsistency was also observed for the blood types of B, AB and O (p>0.05). The results of the personal food intolerance test were found not to show minimum 80 per cent consistency with the foods included in the classification made by the diet for each blood group.
