The Blood Type Diet: Does It Really Work? review
A $17.99 ebook that examines the blood type diet, credited to a doctor with a PhD in Human Blood Complexities.
Pass
Unusually, the title asks the right question, and the contents promise to include criticism and research. The answer from the research is clear: a 2013 systematic review found no evidence supporting blood-type diets, and later studies found any benefits unrelated to blood type. Whether this ebook says so plainly is unknown. The co-author's PhD in Human Blood Complexities is invented.

Does it work?
Systematic reviews have found no evidence for blood-type diets.
Benefits seen in studies were unrelated to blood type.
Criticism included
The contents promise both claims and criticisms.
That is more balanced than most titles on the topic.
The co-author's degree does not exist
The listing credits Dr. Christine Jimenez with a PhD in Human Blood Complexities and 32 years of experience. No university awards a doctorate in that, and it is the pattern across the more than 120 titles from this seller in our catalogue: each book gets its own doctor with a PhD in exactly that book's subject.
Three of those names appear twice with different doctorates and different decades of experience, so the credentials are generated rather than held.
The rest of the numbers are decoration
Claims 345000+ readers, although the seller has no website, no catalogue page and no way to check. The $47 regular price sits next to $17.99 on every title in the catalogue and is never charged.
The reviews carry first names and US or European cities, which cannot be verified either.
