Dr. Mozzi’s diet continues to be one of the most popular diets in Italy.

Doctor Pietro Mozzi, surgeon “according to nature” is in fact a charismatic and very popular character.

He also contributed thanks to television to spread the theory of the blood group diet .

Diet that for the uninitiated should allow those who follow it to eat and feel good following the diet of their blood type.

I already talked about the blood type diet in the original Peter d’Adamo version in this article here .

But let’s see what Dr. Mozzi’s diet consists of.

THE DIET OF DOCTOR HUBS: THE SCIENTIFIC BASIS

In fact, at the base of Dr. Mozzi’s diet there would be the H antigen , a carbohydrate consisting of a chain of sugars ending with a molecule of fucose.
If in people with a type 0 blood group the chain remains unchanged, in people with groups A and B  another sugar is added by glycosyltransferase .

In people with group A we have N-acetylglactosamine.
In those of group B, galactose.
In people of group AB both.

This determines a different response at the antibody level, ie different antibodies are produced at the base of the same H antigen. And according to the principles of the blood group, this also means that each blood group must have a different diet .
Precisely because the immune response to food is different.

Certain elements of the diet thus affect our health and body weight.
For example, lectins are substances tolerated by some and causing adverse reactions in others by destroying the intestinal villi.

People with group 0 can tolerate meat and low carbohydrates better, that is, they are the primitives.
Those with group A must have a substantially vegetarian diet, low in fat.
Finally, people with group B can afford a diet with dairy products and cheeses.
And people with group AB have a more varied diet.
