The last time I had pizza was about 10 years ago. I went with a friend for "all-you-can-eat" pizza and salad, and we both felt unwell afterward. Since that experience, my friend no longer eats dairy because it makes her head feel stuffy. And I stopped eating pizza because it made me feel uncomfortable, like I had a big indigestable lump in my stomach. And I have since come to realize that pizza likely has more of a destructive impact on health than otherwise.

More about pizza as related to commercial interests:
Prevention magazine is giving away a free health book with every new subscription. This book, "Healing Foods", presents pizza as a health food because it contains tomato sause and basil (topping). And Prevention magazine gives this book praise for being "complete and authoritative".

It just proves that magazines, like newspapers, are primarily dedicated to making money. Not that there's anything bad about making money, but the result is often faulty or incomplete information about health.

Conclusion: The fast-food industry has a lot of money to spend on promotion and money is power. Money must have something to do with it, why else would a supposedly reputable source elevate pizza to the status of being a health food? (Think: white flour, high levels of sturated fat and sodium.)

I "hear you"........it's not just pizza either........
Besides the big pizza “chains” other fast food places that use MSG which is a neurotoxin........or food additives that may contain MSG or "excitotoxins"....are KFC and many others........

p.s. Not all pizzas are created equal; while the big chains like Pizza Hut, Dominos, etc. use all the “junk”,
one might just find a little private owner that still makes pizza the old fashioned way............

We have such a place in our town where they make their own marinara sauce, use a good quality mozarella, make a New York Style Pizza......just steer clear of the pepperoni........old fashioned dough.....but no doubt it has gluten or glutamate in it.......can't win.
