Pizza

Ordering and eating a pizza can be a health disaster. For one, they are often full of processed meats, which have been linked to cancer. Canola oil is high in fat and cholesterol, and has been associated with heart disease and is often used in place of olive oil. The crust is typically made of enriched white flour, which has been linked to obesity and diabetes. Pizza sauce usually contains a lot of refined sugar and contains no real health benefits.
