In 1900, Austrian doctor Karl Landsteiner was the first to discover blood group and this work earned him the Nobel Prize in Physiology.
In recent years, there has been a lot of research on blood types and diseases, so what is the truth? Blood type can predict disease riskespecially cancer, is this just a theory or science?
A survey of large cancer samples including more than 100,000 people in 30 countries found that the overall cancer risk of blood group A was 1.12 times higher than that of other blood types, and the cancer risk of blood type B is lower than blood group AB.

The winner was blood type O, which had a 16% lower overall cancer risk than other blood types.
People often call blood group O “universal blood”, thinking that during blood transfusion, red blood cells of blood group O can be compatible with patients with blood group A, B, AB, so they can be used as a temporary emergency blood type.
But in fact, this method is still very dangerous, if the plasma of blood type O contain anti-A and anti-B antibodies, incompatible with other blood groups in the body, during blood transfusion may occur agglutination and blood infection may occur.
However, according to medical experts, about blood type, there are still many unknowns waiting for people to discover. Instead of worrying about your blood type, it’s better to change bad habits in your life, after all, the causative factor is very complicated, compared to the “probability of blood type” the formation. Good living habits are much more important.
