A team of scientists and chefs in Italy say they've developed a pizza that can help PREVENT CANCER and heart disease.

The pizza is made with a wheat flour dough and uses lots of cherry tomatoes, broccoli rabe, olives, garlic, and chilies as toppings.  It also uses a lot of olive oil.

You probably noticed there are three ingredients I DIDN'T mention:  Cheese, sauce, or meat.  It doesn't include any of those.  It also doesn't include pineapple, so sorry to all the people who passionately defend THAT topping.

But the team says if you eat this pizza a few times a week, the ingredients CAN help reduce your odds of developing cancer.

Of course, it's not a GUARANTEE, but it seems like there's no real downside to giving it a shot:  Best case scenario, no cancer . . . worst case scenario, you just ate a bunch of pizza.

Hey It’s Ryan, let me start off by saying…YES, I was born and raised in Wixom, Michigan although a lot of listeners like to joke that I am from Arizona. WCSX has always been my radio home, I have been at the station since I was a 23-year-old intern, co-host of Big Jim’s House, married with kids. Family and radio are what I love, but don’t get me started on golf! Like some, I have become obsessed with golf and you can hear all about that on “The Ball Washer Pod” right here on WCSX. One of my other passions is helping out the Vets. Since coming to WCSX I have been apart of raising hundreds of thousands for local vet groups. Other than that, I am a goofy guy, loving life, my family and talking to you on the radio. Ryan writes about golf, family and what happens on “Big Jim’s House.”
