Homemade Pizza - Screw C Pizza!

I love pizza.  Unfortunately the kind you get from the pizzerias is not the most healthy thing to eat...not too mention the money you can easily spend on it (umm...yes two large pizzas and I need a large order of bread-sticks too), so I'm always looking for ways to make it more healthy.  I started out by buying whole wheat crust from the store and adding pizza sauce and my own ingredients. This one is really good.

However, I recently stumbled across a pizza dough recipe, which lead to me searching for a pizza sauce recipe.  I took those and combined it with a few of my own ingredients based of the food list on EatToDefeat.org, which lists foods that fight cancer and had my first attempt at making homemade pizza!  The pizza I like to call: Screw C Pizza! The C here meaning Cancer.

The Screw C Pizza ingredient list is below (I'll also link to the recipes later so don't worry about trying to read the list). Anywhere you see a pink * that is an ingredient that, according to the list on EatToDefeat.org, has some research to say it fights cancer.  (For more on EatToDefeat.org check this out).

Cancer Prevention

Cancer, cancer, cancer. It seems like all the buzz is about cancer. I think this may be partially due to the fact that there is still so many unanswered questions surrounding it. People are always curious and afraid of what they don't know.

I'm one of them. In my life long goal to live to be 100, cancer is one thing that I fear could come at me out of no where and take years off my life, if not take my life completely. Throughout the various health articles and newsletters I happen to read, whenever an article about cancer comes up, I read it.

A couple weeks back was no exception. In a newsletter from Dr. Oz, there was an article about cancer super foods, something that Dr. Oz talks about pretty frequently on his show. This is something that I am increasingly interested in as well. I figure that if we can fix diseases and ills with our diet instead of meds, why not do it?! At the bottom of the article, I noticed a link to another site called, Eat to Defeat Cancer. Given the title I was intrigued enough to look.
