Another 'O', very new here.

I have 3 siblings, 2 of them are also B ..not sure what the other one is but he is  either an A or B

Two O negative nonnies here  

Hubby is O+ and I'm O-

It's hard to imagine that my daughter and I are in such a minority.  She's a B and I'm an AB.  My son and wife are just your run of the mil A's.  Hehehehe  Actually, I think it's possible they are nonnies, but we haven't tested them yet.

Another B vote here. The B antigen just isn't very common so that's why there aren't many B's or AB's. I remember when I got tested the lady was shocked I was a B because she hardly ever sees them and then tested my sister who is an AB and got a double shock

Quoted from ABJoe

Let's see...  The general breakdown of population is 40% each O and A.  The remaining is B @ about 15% and AB at about 5%...

This means that there should be about 8 O's, 8 A's, and 3 B's posting here for each AB...

15% for B looks high. Where'd you get the figure? Thanks.

This was my best recollection from reading previously, but here is a source that has O at 43 and B at 12...  I think that qualifies as "about"...

Another with slightly different numbers...
http://www.craigmedical.com/blood_typing_facts.htm
A little less B and AB... More O...

http://bloodcenter.stanford.edu/about_blood/blood_types.html

These numbers are from Stanford University's blood center and are recent, for the US. I consider them reliable. Y'know what's interesting here? The 44%-O, 42%-A, 10%-B, 4%-AB distribution is exactly the same as numbers from 1983. I would think there's been a huge Asian influx, increasing the B proportion, since then, living in California as I do. But, yes, also the O's from Latin America. A's aren't losing any market share, however. Wonder why?

Just modifying to say thanks, ABNW, for modifying, adding the new link.

B nonnie. I just voted. B's are just out numbered statistically world wide and this forum has people from all over.   Thanks for the links about blood type percentages. Now I know I'm really unique.

Quoted from Sharon

I wonder if there will ever be a new blood type that develops out of necessity?

The twinkies type, or maybe one dependent on corn  

Curious:  My brother mentioned hearing something about an "H" blood type, is it his age or is there something to this?  He talks in depth, sometimes, and I don't understand a thing he is saying.


Anyone know anything about this and can explain it in everyday language?  thanks

H means O...that simple....

Hello...[b][/b] I have been following the blood type diet for about a year now with wonderful results I will never go back to the old way. I have been able to maintain my weight now, which before I was in a constant yo yo pattern.  I'm new to the forum and trying to find some 'O' friends...to pal around with...

Welcome Teresa!!

I've already voted, but thought I'd let the ABs know that one of my husbands friends has started the diet. an AB. He's not on the forums.

I know many who aren't on the forums who've worked with the diet, but I don't think they're supposed to be included in these data.

Teresa.  Type O here. I think I qualify.

So, where did you want to go?
                  

What would you like to go do?

KK, I love your dancing girl!!! I think I am looking more and more like her (wish!), soon though ... I may even look better in the near future!!!   Once I am ready to post those photos we can compare  

I hope a blood type developes that requires cheeseburgers, chicken nuggets, french fries, and pizza for optimal health.  And chocolate chip cookies

KimonoKAt! I love you dancing woman... she "moves like a jellyfish" as per Jack Johnson's song. lol How do you put those on your messages? That's cool!

I could make all of those foods in compliant versions (except for the cheeseburger part, since the only way to make a kosher cheeseburger requires highly processed fake cheese. Unless you melt mozzarella on a black bean burger....) I regularly make pizza and chocolate chip cookies with spelt flour.

I'm B+, with a B+ brother, an O+ brother, an O- brother, a B+ dad, and don't know mom's type.  She thought it was A+, she does fit the A profile, and she's not big on eating lots of meat, but shouldn't I have an A brother in there somewhere?  I know it's not necessary...
