I consider it a public service, if not a public duty, to explain why pizza can be considered a health food. Allow me to quote from the HerbalGram article on lycopene:

Lycopene is a potent quencher of singlet oxygen (a reactive form of oxygen), which suggests that it may have comparatively stronger antioxidant properties than other major plasma carotenoids… Lycopene has been found to be a potent and specific inhibitor of cancer cell proliferation… Lycopene induces Phase II enzymes which help to eliminate carcinogens and toxins from the body.

The article goes deep into the science behind the claims, and uses the phrase “conjugate reactive electrophiles” which makes me smile because it reminds me of dack’s web economy bullshit generator.

Anyway, in the table of lycopene content of common foods, the highest-rated item is, you guessed it, pizza sauce.
