BBC NEWS => Eating pizza ‘cuts cancer risk’
I hate eating tomatoes.
For years people have nagged me, “oh, you need to eat more tomatoes, they reduce the risk of cancer.”
To which I always respond, “I eat pizza, that’s a tomato food.”
“Oh no”, they say, “That’s not the same.”
Turns out, it is.
Pizzas are covered with a potentially protective tomato sauce. Italian researchers say eating pizza could protect against cancer. Researchers claim eating pizza regularly reduced the risk of developing oesophageal cancer by 59%. The risk of developing colon cancer also fell by 26% and mouth cancer by 34%, they claimed.
