1. Simple food tables for blood group A

Meat table for blood group A Red meat and saturated fatty acids are badly proceeded by gastrointestinal system of type A leading to a rise of triglyceride levels and cholesterol levels (4 Strategien, p.278). Meat is reducing digestion and metabolism proceedings with type A and is provoking a gain of weight (4 Strategien, p.391). Meat is hard to digest for type A, is stored as fat and add to this is enhancing toxic substances in the digestion system (4 Strategien, p.109). Industrial meat products are absolutely damaging, contain nitrates, are eventually even promoting stomach cancer because there is only a small quantity of stomach acid (4 Strategien, p.110). Nitrate by smoked and pickled products: During the smoking and pickling process of meat nitrate is formed which is a special problem for blood group A because of it's cancer causing effect with a low level of stomach acid (4 Strategien, p.137).

		Nitrate by smoked and pickled products: During the smoking and pickling process of meat nitrate is formed which is a special problem for blood group A because of it's cancer causing effect with a low level of stomach acid (4 Strategien, p.137), especially stomach cancer (in analogy to blood group AB) (4 Strategien, p.210).

Fish and sea food table for blood group A Nutrients of fish can develop well when fish is roasted, barbecued or poached. Blood group A can accept well 3 to 4 times per week little quantities of fish or sea food. Fish with meager meat like black sole or flounder have to be avoided because their lectins can irritate gastrointestinal system of type A (4 Strategien, p.111).

Table of milk products for blood group A The blood of blood group A is producing antibodies against basic glucose "D-galactosamine" in the cow's milk which is similar to cells of blood group B (4 Strategien, p.112). Therefore milk products of cow's milk are rejected by type A like also B antigens are rejected (4 Strategien, p.112-113). And that's why milk products of cow's milk are badly proceeded with blood group A (4 Strategien, p.108), are rich of saturated fats, are putting the heart into danger and are leading to adiposity and diabetes with blood group A. Moreover, milk products of cow's milk are reducing metabolism of other food and are favoring mucosa formation [and too much formation of mucosa is provoking new diseases] (4 Strategien, p.109). Milk products produce mucosa, and blood group A which has much mucosa in general is suffering of too much mucosa then. Possible are allergic reactions, infections and respiratory difficulties (4 Strategien, p.113).

2. Food tables for blood group A making also the difference between secretors and non-secretors

Nutrition of blood group A: to avoid (negative food for blood group A) (beneficial: +; neutral: o; to avoid: -)
Food	effect	secretors	non-secretors
Meat: buffalo, squirrel, heart, calf, liver (of calf), horse, beef, ham, pork, bacon (richtig leben, p.307) Ham, pork, bacon, bacon ("causing abnormal blood reaction, inhibits normal gastric function or impede assimilation.") (Lexicon, S.706) quail, venison (4 Strategies, p.111)	Red meat and saturated fatty acids are badly proceeded by the gastrointestinal system of blood group A and are provoking a rise of triglyceride levels and cholesterol levels (4 Strategien, p.278). Meat with blood group A is reducing digestion and metabolism processes and is also provoking gain of weight (4 Strategien, p.391). Meat is hard to digest for blood group A, is stored as fat and is also rising the content of toxics in the digestive system (4 Strategien, p.109). Industrial meat products are absolutely damaging containing nitrates, and in the stomach of type A with a continuing shortage of gastric acid these nitrates are eventually also provoking stomach cancer (4 Strategien, p.110). Smoked and cured meats: nitrates in smoked or cured meat cause more gastric cancer in the stomach of blood group A - which does not have much acids (4 strategies, p.137), especially gastric cancer (similar blood group AB) (4 strategies, p.210).	-	-

Blood group A can accept well 3 to 4 times per week little quantities of fish or sea food. But fish with meager meat like black sole or flounder have to be avoided because their lectins can irritate gastrointestinal system of type A (4 Strategien, p.111).	-	-

Therefore milk products of cow's milk are rejected by type A like also B antigens are rejected (4 Strategien, p.112-113). And that's why milk products of cow's milk are badly proceeded with blood group A (4 Strategien, p.108), are rich of saturated fats, are putting the heart into danger and are leading to adiposity and diabetes with blood group A. Moreover, milk products of cow's milk are reducing metabolism of other food and are favoring mucosa formation [and too much formation of mucosa is provoking new diseases] (4 Strategien, p.109). Milk products produce mucosa, and blood group A which has much mucosa in general is suffering of too much mucosa then.

Beans and pulses: chick peas, Lima beans, red beans (richtig leben, p.317),	Chick peas and Lima beans can reduce insulin production (4 Strategien, p.115). Lima beans are inhibiting the effect of digestion enzymes and are reducing the speed of metabolism (4 Strategien, p.109).	-	-
Beans and pulses: kidney beans, pearl beans (richtig leben, p.317)	Kidney beans are inhibiting the effect of digestion enzymes and are reducing the speed of metabolism (4 Strategien, p.109).

Nutrients of fish can develop well when fish is roasted, barbecued or poached. Blood group A can accept well 3 to 4 times per week little quantities of fish or sea food. Fish with meager meat like black sole or flounder have to be avoided because their lectins can irritate gastrointestinal system of type A (4 Strategien, p.111). Escargot (Helix pomatia) contains a very effective lectin for members of type A working against cancer cells which are copying the behavior of blood group A (4 Strategien, p.111).

Tofu is a good substitute of meat for blood group A, with all important nutrients. Acceptable sorts of meat for type A are only chicken and turkey.		Biological eggs with much calcium is best source of zinc and beta carotene for blood group A.		Lemon water is eliminating the superfluous mucosa which is provoking a vulnerability to infections for type A.		Blood group A hardly accepts meat and cow's milk products because the stomach with it's shortage of stomach acid can hardly proceed meat. Moreover, the blood of type A is producing antibodies against the basic glucose D galactosamin" in the cow's milk - which is similar to type B. Therefore milk products of cow's milk are rejected like also the B antigens. An unilateral nutrition with much meat and milk products is reducing metabolism with blood group A provoking adiposity.
