Pizza Cuts Cancer Risk?
ROME (Reuters) - Gorging pizza could help reduce the risk of certain forms of cancer -- Italian scientists say.
In a twist to the accepted medical wisdom that food you really enjoy tends to be bad for you, researchers at a Milan pharmacology center found that eating one or more pizzas a week dramatically reduced the incidence of some types of cancer.
A study of 8,000 Italians found that regular pizza-eaters were 59 percent less likely to contract cancer of the esophagus, while the risk of developing cancer of the colon fell by 26 percent.
"We knew that tomato sauce was protective against certain tumors, but we certainly didn't expect that pizza as a whole would provide such strong protection," researcher Silvano Gallus told Sunday's La Repubblica newspaper.

it may help your cancer risk but it probably inflates your risk for heart disease

actually the way pizza is supposed to be made is with barely any or no cheese at all
back in the day bread crumbs were used instead of cheese for a cheap meal

... My grandfather, god bless him, he just got his US naturalization... and we wanted to mark the occasion with an ethnic meal that would bring him back to the days in the old country, so we took him to Olive Garden to celebrate... oh boy, it was just like bein in my grandmother's garden back in Napoli...
