pizza: What's healthier, a pizza or a candy pizza?|||PIZZA...|||Pizza is very fattening and unhealthy....Go for the candy....so much better for you.|||Actually, neither is particularly good for you in mass quantities.

Go figure!|||Pizza and Health Pizza can be considered the queen of the Mediterranean diet and no doubt its most reknown dish. The ingredients of Pizza Margherita, for example, the kind of pizza most known, are those typical of the Mediterranean diet: cereal flour, olive oil, tomato and mozzarella. These ingredients may increase or vary according to the different kinds of pizza we decide to eat. Pizza has always been considered a single course (and still is), at least by the lower classes for those a pizza was often the only and sufficient supper or dinner. But let's go on to examine one by one the ingredients necessary to the making of a Pizza Margherita. Cereals: the complex carbohydrates given by flour satiate and provide constant energy without affecting the increase of glucose. Therefore the cereals cloy the appetite and limit the demand for further food allowing the lose of weight. Like meat, the dough of pizza contains aminoacids. Olive oil: the most noble and wholesome of fats, mediterranean par excellence. It is rich in HDL (cholesterol that helps the cleaning of arteries) and vitamines A, D, E, K. Mozzarella: mozzarella (as all kinds of cheese) abounds in lysine and methionine, that's to say animal proteins contained in cheese. Tomato: an important source of vitamins that contributes in a fair measure to the vitaminic contribution of a good pizza. Let's now briefly examine some properties of the herbs inseparable companions of the pizza: basil, with his distinctive scent and flavour well known by those who love pizza, has antidyspeptic and antiseptic properties. It is also an antinflammatory and helps the digestion. The beneficial properties of garlic are known and scientifically recognized: we remember here that it is an intestinal antiseptic, a cardiotonic and that it has diuretic and antisclerotic properties. And lastly origan, another most important herb in the making of neapolitan pizza. It is an expectorant: good against bronchitis and tracheitis. A most versatile herb, it whets the appetite e acts as an antidolorific for torticollis and rheumatisms. The benefits for the health given by the mediterranean diet are well known: we remember here that this kind of diet helps to fight numerous diseases typical of our age as arteriosclerosis, infarction and hypertension. Besides pizza contains a high quantity of iron and vitamins B1 and PP. It avoids the formation of uric acid, doesn't fatten andthanks to the action of amids it is more digestible than other foods . Therefore pizza is an alternative to meat eating and a fit single course which, integrated with fruits and fresh vegetables, can nearly satisfy the daily needs of the organism thanks to its vitaminic and proteic contribution.|||Pizza|||pizza|||best to have both..|||Pizza i guess.
