creating a reaction called "agglutination". The clump makes disposal easier.

Lectins are proteins abundantly found in foods, and they have agglutinating properties. They are blood type specific. For example, the wheat germ lectin cross-reacts with Type O blood, and targets digestive enzymes which interfere with insulin production.

The digestive tract of Type Os retains the memory of ancient hunting times. The meat diet and enormous physical demands kept Cro-Magnons in a mimld state of ketosis. The metabolic conversion of proteins and fats into ketones, which are used in place of sugars to keep glucose levels steady. This combination of ketosis, calorie deprivation, and constant physical activity made for a lean hunting machine--the key to survival in the ice age. [4]
