Dorothy,  and everyone,

I was thinking the same thing. It makes sense because there is a higher
proportion of blood type O among the original indigenous races, such as
Native Americans and African native descedants.
The majority of type O's are "Hunter-Gatherer" by metobolic type- and
oxidize sugar and alcohol much more quickly than the "Agriculturalist" type
do -who would be generally european white people.( I would love to cite
some specific numbers here but I don't have any available ...anyone??)
This would make them more susceptible to blood sugar problems.
