Bummer for us AB people .Our risk is 20x higher than other blood types

[and then]

I was really disappointed by this.  I'm AB- and no heart disease runs in my family...so I don't know whether to pay attention to it or not.  I guess I'll worry if it becomes a problem.  Exercise and a reasonable diet is probably all a person can do anyway.

Seems to me a lot of it has to do with how much fat and sugar you consume throughout your lifetime, which eventually results in obesity. Because they say heart disease can be reversed by reducing fat and sugar intake to almost nothing and losing extra weight. This is probably the biggest contributor to heart disease for a majority of people.

Other things like long term smoking, drugs and illegal drugs, along with consuming too much alcohol, as well as lack of exercise, are obviously not a good thing for the body either; that's for sure. But regardless, and most importantly, they say you are what you eat. So I'm gonna bet it has more to do with what we consume than our blood types. The blood type is probably a very small contributing factor, if indeed true, and probably makes very little difference when compared to our diets.
