Scientists and chefs in Italy say they have made a pizza which prevents cancer and heart disease.
The Pizza Pascalina, designed by scientists in Naples, has been called 'the pizza that extends life' and an 'anti-tumour' pizza.
The Pascalina is packed with ingredients from the Mediterranean diet which are known to have health benefits.
Neither cheese nor meat feature on the dish; its toppings include tomatoes, olives and rapini – a type of broccoli.
It will be on sale at the Napoli Pizza Village, a pizza festival in Naples this week.
Scientists from the Istituto Nazionale Tumori in Naples – the national cancer institute – say the pizza is healthy enough to eat twice a week.
