In a study of blood types since 1918, blood banks have gathered data of more than 20 million individuals worldwide. The most common blood type in the western world is blood type o, accounting for up to 50 percent in the United States. Blood type a is the second most common, making up 40 percent of the individuals. Blood type b is low as 7 percent, while blood type ab is a mere 3 percent.
According to Dr. J. D"Adamo "your blood type is the key that unlocks the door to the mysteries of health, disease, longetivity, physical vitality, and emotional strength. Your blood type determines your susceptibility to illnesses, which foods you should eat and how you should exercise. The blood type reflects your body's internal chemistry and determines the way the body absorbs nutrients." Blood type o has a higher stomach acid content compared to a, so blood type o people are able to digest higher in protein diets and type a people ca digest higher in carbs diets. Types a and ab are relevantly new, but type b is similar to type o and contain high stomach acid content where as type ab lacks stomach acid but only a lesser degree than that of type a.
The imprint of your blood type is also encoded into every cell of your body and if a mix-up of blood types occurs during a blood transfusion or organ transplant it could be fatal. Transfusions experts state that you are more likely to receive the wrong blood type than you are to pick up a disease.
