| | Consumption of pizza can reduce the risk of some types of cancer. Researchers from Milan Institute of Pharmacology came to this conclusion after research on more than 8000 Italians, British Daily The Guardian wrote on Monday with reports from Italian newspaper La Repubblica.
According to results of the research, those, who eat pizza a few times a week, are at a lower risk than those, who did not eat it ever.
Eating (Gastronomic) habits of 3315 Italians, suffering from tumor (malignancy) of gastrointestinal tracts or throat, were thoroughly studied and compared with similar records of 5000 patients, suffering from other diseases.
As per the findings of research, risk of mouth cancer reduces by 34% and that of esophagus cancer by 59% in the people who like pizza.
“We knew that the tomato sauce protects the organism from some forms of cancer, but we could not presume that the pizza as a whole can give the body such a strong protection” said Silvano Gallus in an interview to La Repubblica
Meanwhile, Milan epidemiologist Carlo La Vecchia says that the results of research do not mean that the pizza can be eaten to fight the cancer.
He also added that pizza is testimony of life style and food habits, using natural methods of preparation and avoiding industrial production. Besides, the scientist also noted that such properties of tomato sauce were known a long time back. |

Every Papa John's pizza restaurant in Northeast Ohio sold one-topping pizzas for 23 cents on Thursday to atone for insulting Cleveland Cavaliers star LeBron James (No. 23). Last week during Game 6 of Cavaliers-Wizards in Washington, Papa John's franchise insulted LeBron James and angered Ohio state by handing out the t-shirts bearing the number 23, the name "Crybaby", and Papa John's logo. The 23 cent pizza special on Thursday resulted in long lines of people waiting up to 3 hours to get their 23 cent pizzas. Most customers said they were standing in line not to get a good pizza deal, but to teach Papa John's franchise a lesson.
