EVERYONE loves pizza, and if you DON’T you’re probably from another planet…or another dimension entirely. But the PWP (Problem With Pizza, not Parents Without Partners) is this: it’s got way too much saturated fat and cholesterol, glycotoxins, is fiber-poor, and REALLY fattening. Who wants to eat it if you have to WEAR it too? Take heart! There IS a way to make pizza really healthy and absolutely delicious, high in fiber, and cholesterol-free. And it’s easy too!
