Tomato Pizza Sauce
by B G
A basic pizza sauce with simple ingredients but contains inflammatory corn oil. While free from preservatives and artificial additives, the use of corn oil instead of olive oil makes this a mediocre choice for regular consumption.
- TOMATOES – beneficial · Rich in lycopene, vitamin C, and antioxidants that support cardiovascular health and may reduce cancer risk.
- CORN OIL – controversial · High omega-6 seed oil that promotes inflammation when consumed regularly and is often heavily processed with chemical solvents.
- SALT – safe · Essential mineral for flavor enhancement and preservation, though excessive intake can raise blood pressure in sensitive individuals.
- SPICES – beneficial · Natural flavor enhancers that typically contain antioxidants and anti-inflammatory compounds.
- GARLIC POWDER – beneficial · Concentrated garlic provides allicin compounds with antimicrobial and cardiovascular benefits.
