pizza, were less likely to have elevated clinical markers of heart related diseases. For women pizza makers on the forum, you can feel a little better about your pizza related indulgences. For those men on the forum whose spouses or girlfriends complain about their pizza making obsessions, you now have an excuse to satisfy your pizza making passions, as long as it includes tomatoes and your significant other of course. Note: whether or not tomato based products also refers to Bloody Mary’s and red beers was not explored in the article.
