Blood type A diet: study disproves it
The blood type diet is not associated with cardio-metabolic changes in response to a vegetarian regimen.
This is the title of the new study that denies, evidence in hand, the validity of the Mozzi diet, but not only.
Unlike other studies, which had already rejected the correlation between blood group and diet, as written here in the article on Adam’s diet and then in the Mozzi diet , the new study focuses on the blood group A diet.
Which should correspond to the farmer’s diet, that is, to be vegetarian.
Let’s take a closer look at what the scientists discovered, who published the results in the scientific journal Journal of the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics.
STUDIO REPRESENTS DIET BLOOD GROUP A
The premise of the study initially seems to give reason to the hypothesis of the blood group at the level of different metabolism. But only starting from a given observation. That is, positive or negative “0” people have less metabolic risk than those with A. This was confirmed by genetic studies.
The problem is to associate a specific type of diet with each blood group.
That is, if anything, there is a genetic concomitance to the individual susceptibility to incur certain disorders. But that there is a human diet that must be established on the basis of this characteristic is an erroneous deduction.
And scientists prove this particularly in the case of people with group A.
That is, they took 244 overweight individuals, with blood type A, B or 0 (rh positive and negative), and subjected them to the diet of blood group A, that of the farmer.
In this case, the subjects ate a vegan diet for 16 weeks, with legumes, whole grains and false grains, low fat, lots of vegetables, little olive oil and generally low fat. According to Dr. Mozzi and others, the diet for A is that of the Neolithic man. That is the first homo to deal with the harvesting and production of cereals.
THE RESULTS ARE OPPOSITE TO THE HUBS DIET
All the participants in 16 weeks (therefore 4 months of diet) lost weight, giving up animal fats and proteins. But while the other groups lost an average of 7 pounds in 4 months, while also improving their metabolic parameters, those who were A positive or negative performed the worst.
About 5.7 kilos lost, but also a lower reduction in cholesterol.
Those who had group 0, who according to Dr. Mozzi’s diet should eat more animal proteins, lost the most weight.
The results, opposite to those described by Dr. Mozzi, deny the validity of vegetarian as a diet for blood group A. But also the need for many animal foods for group 0.
