A positive: 30% A negative: 8% B positive: 8% B negative: 2%
Is A negative blood rare? Around 8% of donors have A negative blood. In comparison, 30% of donors have A positive blood.
1 in 3 people are A positive, which is why it is one of the most common blood types. As you can imagine A positive blood is in high demand, because it is presence in a large percentage of the population.
A negative blood group is said to be rarest and is capable of donating whole blood as well as red blood cells. In comparison to all the other eight blood types, the ratio of the distribution of negative blood types is about 8%, whereas that of AB negative ratio of distribution is about 1%.

A type's ancestors were mainly farmers, so it is believed that you should avoid all pork, beef, lamb, and game meats. You should eat lean cuts of turkey and chicken only occasionally. You can, however, include rainbow trout, salmon, red snapper, cod, sardines, and whitefish to your diet.
The most powerful part of A+ blood can be found in the platelets. Platelets can be donated as often as every seven days and up to 24 times a year. Platelets are in high demand by hospitals and often help cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy. Red blood cells from A+ donors also hold lifesaving power.

Latin American: 53% O-positive, 29% A-positive, and 9% B-positive. Asian: 39% O-positive, 27% A-positive, and 25% B-positive. Caucasian: 37% O-positive, 33% A-positive, and 9% B-positive.

Those with type A blood should choose fruit, vegetables, tofu, seafood, turkey, and whole grains but avoid meat. For weight loss, seafood, vegetables, pineapple, olive oil, and soy are best; dairy, wheat, corn, and kidney beans should be avoided.
Famous people with blood type O include Queen Elizabeth II, Paul Newman, Elvis Presley, Ronald Regan, John Gotti, and Gerald Ford.
Of the eight main blood types, people with Type O have the lowest risk for heart attacks and blood clots in the legs and lungs. This may be because people with other blood types have higher levels of certain clotting factors, which are proteins that cause blood to coagulate (solidify).
When the blood of an Rh-positive fetus gets into the bloodstream of an Rh-negative woman, her body will recognize that the Rh-positive blood is not hers. Her body will try to destroy it by making anti-Rh antibodies. These antibodies can cross the placenta and attack the fetus's blood cells.
The most important reason why you should know your blood type is in the case of an emergency. If you need a blood transfusion following an accident, surgery or delivery, you'll need compatible blood.
Although Type A is the genetic ancestor, it appears to have disappeared in humans a very long time ago, and then 'resurrected' itself about 300,000 years ago.
Type A+ donors can help change the world by donating whole blood and by donating platelets (an apheresis procedure that takes longer but often goes to cancer patients). And Type A and AB plasma are often used for trauma patients and accident victims.
Specifically, people with type A blood are more likely to get stomach cancer. Researchers think this might be because H. pylori infection is more common in people with type A blood. That's a bacteria that's usually found in the stomach.
Coffee is slightly acidic (pH 5.0–5.1)—type A's need to increase stomach acid since they tend to have very low levels—and can have a stimulating effect because of its caffeine content. Drinking one to three cups per day has some health benefits.
Vegetables are vital to the Type A Diet, providing minerals, enzymes and antioxidants. Type A are very sensitive to the lectins in potatoes, sweet potatoes, yams, cabbage, tomatoes and peppers. They aggravate the delicate stomach of Type A.
