With a very heavy heart, I have a sad news for all the pizza lovers out there. Don’t worry, I am one of you too!
Well, according to WHO, having one or two slices of your pizzas is not that harmful for your health but having five to six slices more often can be really dangerous for your health. People who eat pizzas 6-10 times a week skipping their meals of a day can be at a higher risk of health issues.

This is just what your single slice contains which never ever happens to you.
