Here Are the Pizza Toppings That Can Reduce Your Risk of Cancer
If you didn’t already know, you’ll be sad to hear this: The World Health Organization has classified processed meat as “carcinogenic to humans.” And they link foods like pepperoni and sausage to a higher risk of colorectal cancer.
So, to help us figure out what to put on pizza now, a dietitian shared five “tasty, wholesome” pizza ideas without processed meats.
They said we don’t have to give up pizza. We just have to rethink the toppings. Here are five healthy pizza alternatives:
1. A Mediterranean-style with olives, artichokes, cherry tomatoes, olive oil, and feta.
2. A classic Margherita with fresh tomatoes, basil, and mozzarella on a whole-grain crust.
3. A white pizza with low-sodium ricotta, kale, and garlic.
4. The veggie delight. With bell peppers, mushrooms, spinach, and tomatoes.
5. And finally, a pesto chicken veggie pizza with zucchini, spinach, and rotisserie chicken.
