Move over anorexia, we now have Tanorexia, the need for a sun tan.  This is a new one for me, as I didn't realize this was an addiction, but soon perhaps a new 12 step program will come along, I realize I am helpless when it comes to basking in the sun and yes I am a Tanorexic.  This condition is obviously not made in the shade.  We all know that overexposure to the sun can lead to skin cancer, but I guess it doesn't stop as there is always the tanning booth.   BDimage

A new study conducted at a large university finds more than 25 percent of those surveyed reported symptoms of tanning dependence, including symptoms similar to alcohol and drug-addicted individuals. 

Interestingly, sun tanning appeared to be more closely related to tanning dependence than indoor tanning, though use of indoor tanning during warm weather also signaled tanning dependence.

Survey: 'Tanorexia' common among university students

Now we all suffer from this one!!  Thanks to the folks at Pharmagossip for this one.

"The Internet is no longer a novelty. With the PC as a household media hub, users are demanding transparent, non-arrogant, fulfilling services from Internet service providers. By doing so, they are creating a cultural shift in the way all business is being transacted, offline as well as online. Those businesses who "get it" will prosper."
