Eat pizza !

People in Italy who regularly eat pizza are less likely to have heart attacks than those who don’t eat pizza.

Pizza is a traditional Italian food and one of the most popular foods in the world. In its simplest form, it is made of a wheat flour crust risen with yeast, coated with olive oil and tomato sauce, and topped with mozzarella cheese. One large study found that women who eat two or more servings of pizza per week have a 34% lower risk of heart disease than women who don’t eat pizza. Other studies have suggested that some pizza ingredients, such as tomatoes (with their powerful antioxidant lycopene) and olive oil, can protect against heart disease.

there's gotta be a huge difference from American Pizza and Italian pizza. I know one has to be the amount of sweetners and processed items used at your local Dominoes.

Right

US pizza = thicker crust, more cheese, more vegetable oil, less vegetables

Also keep in mind that over in Italy they make their pizza without the aid of processed junk and extra fattening pepperoni.

I say give me some dough, some of grandma's sauce, some mozerella, mild cheddar, paramasean, bell peppers from my backyard with some red onions and I'm happy too cook.
