Grains are a concentrated source of carbohydrate, and type Bs need to watch their consumption of grains and carbohydrates in general. Wheat, corn, buckwheat and rye should be avoided by this blood type. They contain lectins that block insulin activity, thereby disrupting the way sugar is metabolized in the body. Instead of sugar being used for energy it can be stored as fat and cause weight gain. Also, this excess of sugar in the blood can form elevated levels of a type of blood lipids called triglycerides that are also a risk factor for heart disease.

This doesn’t bar you from eating all grains. Try spelt instead of wheat. This ancient grain can replace wheat in nearly every circumstance: pies, cakes, breads, pasta etc. Rice and oats are also very good for you. You may eat sprouted grains. The best source is Essene bread (also called sprouted wheat bread). Although it is made with wheat, sprouting destroys the lectins that normally should be avoided. For more information on Essene bread see page 10.
