"Pizza helps reduce cancer".i dont think so.

Post Reply New Topic

There is a pizza place nearby who has a poster which displays the companies they buy their products from.in the bottom right corner is a statement which says"pizza helps reduce cancer"
I see this as a pretty inacurate comment as i saw a study where red meat especially proccesed meats increase the chances of liver cancer and heart dissease by something like 30%

What do you think?

I think it is supposed to be some kind of joke.

If it was whole grain with just veggies then it would be healthy.Depends on the pizza.I don't think a double pepperoni is going to help fight cancer.

I don't think so, either.

Wait awhile. Soon enough, someone will say pizza causes cancer. Half the things anyone does are said to cause cancer anyway.

Pizza contains tomato sauce. tomatoes are a cancer prevention food.

The two ingredients thought to be cancer preventative are cooked tomatos and olive oil. Done with a thin crust and moderate cheese (Italian style) at least one study showed significant reduction of several cancers with people who ate a moderate amount of pizza regularly (once a week).

I have been limiting myself to once or twice a month. Finally a change to my liking! Italian style is the only way to go.

So, by eating my double pepperoni and anchovy pizza I probably come out about even. *fingers crossed*

Thanks for the links guys,youre totally right.and the numbers from the studies are stunning.but that was only for traditional pizzas.it said to take it with a grain of salt,not all places
Make them the sme.the bad ingredients seem to be the pepperoni and possibly the crust,if its made with processed wheat ingredients.

I would have liked to answer you all in one post but i cant go back and forth with my phone,i lose what i wrote

ok

then i must be immune to cancer.

Eating pizza promotes happy feeling.
Happy feelings make you less likely to get cancer.

That's about how I see it but I think happy feelings promote better health in general.

No wonder I often feel physically ill when I'm depressed.
