Pizza Cuts Cancer Risk?
From the people (ok person) who brought you "Junk Food is Addictive!" and *munch*munch* "Boy trapped in fridge eats own foot!" comes all-new "Cancer Cuts Cancer Risk?" *slurp* and here it is...*belch*
ROME (Reuters) - Gorging pizza could help reduce the risk of certain forms of cancer -- Italian scientists say.
In a twist to the accepted medical wisdom that food you really enjoy tends to be bad for you, researchers at a Milan pharmacology center found that eating one or more pizzas a week dramatically reduced the incidence of some types of cancer.
A study of 8,000 Italians found that regular pizza-eaters were 59 percent less likely to contract cancer of the esophagus, while the risk of developing cancer of the colon fell by 26 percent.
"We knew that tomato sauce was protective against certain tumors, but we certainly didn't expect that pizza as a whole would provide such strong protection," researcher Silvano Gallus told Sunday's La Repubblica newspaper.
*munch* There you go people and... hey where'd you all go?
Hmmm now I'm trying to imagine *munch*munch* the membership turning into a bunch of fatties gorging themselves on pizza, oh wait!

I'm guessing here, but I'd bet that pizza in Italy is much different than it is here.

See, that's been my plan all along. Just keep it up and I'll live forever.

Of course you won't get cancer if you stuff yourself with pizza......you'll die of heart attack first. Statistics, you've gotta love it....

Well, that would explain why I hate pizza (the North American kind)...because it is good for me!
As for colon cancer...pizza sometimes gives me diarrhea-like symptoms, and as a recent study reports, diarrhea can stop colon cancer!
Masturbate. Eat pizza. Sit on toilet. Sure you can live forever, but what kind of life is that? (aside from the first bit)
Mahatma Gandhi, as you know, walked barefoot most of the time, which produced an impressive set of calluses on his feet. He also ate very little, which made him rather frail and with his odd diet, he suffered from bad breath. This made him...a super-callused fragile mystic hexed by halitosis.

Hey, as long as there's ample good reading material, I don't see anything wrong with it.
