The Blood Type Diet has been touted as a personalized approach to eating—claiming that your blood type determines the foods you should eat (or avoid) to optimize health, lose weight, and prevent disease.

And where did this idea even come from? Join us, two Registered Dietitians, as we explore the origin, popularity, and scientific evidence behind the Blood Type Diet—and explore whether your blood type should truly dictate your food choices.
