The blood-type diet is strongly advocated by Dr. Wojcik. This diet has been researched and advanced by naturopathic physician Dr. Peter J. D'Adamo. Dr. D'Adamo's extensive research and clinical testing has led to the blood-type connection to health and disease. The principle revolves around the fact that there are four blood types in humans, and because of the chemistry involved, each type should stay away from certain foods.

Healthy blood requires that the red blood cells float separately some comfortable distance from the nearest neighboring red blood cells — the more surface area of the spherical red blood cell exposed, the better. Nutrients are more easily absorbed and wastes more efficiently expelled.

Lectins are a diverse and abundant proteins found in foods; they have agglutinating properties that affect the blood. Actually they affect the four blood types differently. For example, the lectins in wheat cause the type "O" blood cells to stick together and reduce the natural activity of the white blood cells. This points to difficulty in absorbing the necessary nutrients and in expelling waste efficiently. In addition, the reduced activity of the white blood cells indicates a depressing of the immune system.

On the other hand, the lectins in wheat do not affect the red blood cells of the type "A" — there is no harmful effect for type "A" blood from consuming wheat.
