Cheese and yogurt made from cow’s milk, and cow’s milk itself, should be avoided. Nevertheless you may eat goat’s and sheep’s cheese (2oz/60g) and yogurt once or twice a week. If you need to lose weight or suffer from any type of inflammatory disease such as asthma, eczema or arthritis, or if you have a tendency to produce mucous in the respiratory tract, avoid dairy products altogether until your condition has improved. You may then find your body is able to tolerate small amounts again.

If you are concerned about not getting enough calcium remember that cows do not drink milk and yet produce milk that is very rich in calcium. Where does it come from? From their vegetarian diet. Here are some foods that are good for your blood type and that contain more calcium, weight for weight, than whole milk: green leafy vegetables (collard leaves, kale, turnip leaves, dandelion greens), figs, almonds, sunflower seeds, kelp, dulse, tofu and watercress. Broccoli, sesame seeds and walnuts also contain good amounts. If you feel you are not getting sufficient calcium because you are not making these food choices often enough, it would be wise to take a calcium supplement. If you are pregnant or breast feeding definitely take a supplement.
