An aspirin a day may keep melanoma at bay, a new study suggests.
After scrutinizing the medical records of 1,000 people, an international team of researchers have determined that the risk of melanoma was cut by almost half when people took a daily dose of aspirin for at least five years. 
“Our data at least support the hypothesis that long-term steady aspirin use has an effect,” said study co-author Dr. Robert Stern, a professor of dermatology at Harvard Medical School and chief of dermatology at Beth Israel Deaconess Hospital in Boston.

Dear 16 Year Old Me, Dear Someone Else---

I've had a ton of people send me this link on Facebook, Twitter and even in comments of this blog.  It's definitely worth watching, and I tear up every time I see it.  I wish I had seen it at 16! But I can still share now with people that don't know.  Please repost or send to anyone 16, or anyone who has ever been 16.  :)
