Now this is good news! Pizza Cuts Cancer Risk?:
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.
I have to wonder though, if you’re Italian, and you’re not eating pizza, aren’t you likely eating something with even more tomato sauce, like pasta?
