This Is What Your Blood Type Says About Your Health

Here we have yet another bad news for people with AB blood type. These people are at a higher risk of stomach cancer. As a study about health ailments showed, AB blood type people have a 26% higher risk of developing this disease. H pylori is a bacteria responsible for this effect. A large proportion of the world’s population carries this in their gut, but persons with AB blood type have an extremely reactive immune system to this. This boosts their risk of stomach cancer.

4. Ulcers

The bacteria that increases stomach cancer risk in AB blood type people also affects the risk of ulcers in people with O blood type. The substances that are found in people with this blood type modify the body’s response to the bacterium. But it is not so clear how it is done.

5. Pancreatic cancer

Once again here are some good news for people with O blood type. These are 37% less likely to develop pancreatic cancer. The bacteria in the gut, H pylori is responsible for this effect too. But, while keeping all this aside, you must remember that these factors are just affecting the risk to some extent. Your diet and lifestyle as well have the most important role to play.
