Fairly low in caloric density, pizza is a good source of protein, complex carbohydrates, vitamins, minerals and lycopene, a healthy antioxidant.

Most of us want to eat healthier, and we know we can do that by reducing our fat and sugar intake and increasing our consumption of cereal grains, fresh vegetables, fish and poultry. And that brings us to America’s favorite food: pizza. While some people perceive pizza as low in nutritional value, published data indicate that the opposite is usually true. Most pizzas are actually quite high in nutritional value. They offer a good source of protein, complex carbohydrates, vitamins and minerals, and they are fairly low in caloric density. In short, pizza is good for you as long as you eat it in moderation (just like with anything else).

She was signed up the following year to play opposite Errol Flynn in Crossed Swords and in what was to become a cult movie, John Huston’s tongue-in-cheek adventure yarn Beat the Devil, in which she co-starred with Humphrey Bogart and Jennifer Jones.

The film that immortalized her sultry qualities more than any other was...

ROME — Italian archaeologists are hailing a recent discovery as the "most exceptional" in the last half-century. They believe it could rewrite the history of the relationship between the Etruscan and Roman civilizations.

Over a period of a few weeks in September and October, a team of archaeologists unearthed two dozen bronze statues of human figures, more than 2,000 years old and perfectly preserved in the hot mud and waters of an ancient, sacred pool.
​
The site is the hot springs of the Tuscan town of San Casciano dei Bagni — San Casciano of the Baths, one of many picturesque hilltop towns towering over lush green valleys dotted with majestic cypress trees.
