As if the news from earlier today about the health benefits of coffee and beer weren’t good enough, now it looks like pizza is good for you:
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.
The secret could be lycopene, an antioxidant chemical in tomatoes, which is thought to offer some protection against cancer, and which gives the fruit its traditional red colour.
Excuse me while I go have some pizza and beer, followed by a nice espresso.
