   The article in the May 2007 Erickson Tribune on Skin Cancer is good, however, use of the word Melanoma, I think, is mistaken.   A cancerous growth (tumor) which spreads (metasthesizes) is called a carcinoma.   It's my understanding that Melanomas do not spread.

   I do heartily approve of the article on chocolate, however.   I'm a firm believer that if you crave something, your body is trying to let you in on a secret --- of course, you can't abandon the "reins" and submit to "wild abandon".
