Pizza is good for you!
The news that we have all been waiting here - pizza is good for you! It is a healthy choice according to recent press release (here) and brought to my attention by good old diet blog.com. The problem is though - this is a lie!
Pizza being good for you is a joke!
I am a little bit disappointed that this came out in the form of news but I am not at all surprised. I would like to know more about the source of this information and/or research as it specifically says that Domino’s Pizza is a good one to have. Sounds like bought publicity to me.
Over at The Diet Blog they talk about the main points of the article:
* Pizza is essentially a meal in itself, as you can find foods from the four basic food groups in one slice.
* A crunchy thin crust Domino’s pizza contains less than half the carbohydrates of Domino’s classic hand-tossed pizza.
* None of the core products on Domino’s menu (pizza, bread side items, chicken) contain trans fats.
* Customers seeking a healthier pizza have the option of ordering their pizza with a lighter portion of cheese.
* The tomatoes in pizza sauce contain lycopene, which helps protect against prostate cancer. Tomatoes are also an excellent source of vitamins A and C.
I really don’t think I need to go through and point out all the flaws in this statement. As the Diet Blog crew have pointed out and their readers commented on; the statement is a load of rubbish!
Pizza is high in salt and fats and is generally bad for you in almost every way with the exception of a few vegetables chucked on top.
My main reason for posting this information is that I feel it is important for my readers to be able to recognize a bad bit of information when it pops up. Not everything that is written down is true and most often when a big corporation gets involved with the research or the funding the information is going to be way off.
What do you think about this?

| Joseph said: | Pizza is actually good for you. Order one that is whole wheat, and thin crust.If you want meat on it order turkey pepperoni and chicken, along with some vegtables. Also check if they have low sodium low fat mozzerela. Along with a salad and you have a healthy meal. |
