Question
Hi Walter,
I know blood types can affect personality, but can your blood type affect health and metal status?
thank you

Answer
Hi Sabrina;
I have never seen any evidence that blood types have any effects on the body physically or mentally.  The factors determining blood types are simply the presence (or absense) of specific proteins. Peopl who lack thes eproteins (Type O) are no different for types A A B and AB.
I would be interested to know wher eyou got this idea
