evidence. Although I eagerly wait to see if there are any (primary) sources 
that do. Considering the scarcity of primary sources at all it is 
questionable whether this could/would be the single solution to them. In fact 
fitting such a minimal set of primary sources is almost trivial. The more 
data brings the clearer choices. This is almost everyday experience. Read 
just the employment page of your journal and check how many people do fit a 
very demanding job description against one mentioning just gender and age.

That's interesting, and a little troubling! Nonetheless, "chocoholic" is
in common usage a jocular term; and since it does not follow regular
rules of analogic formation (which would call for "chocolatic"), I doubt
that the medical establishment would use it as the label for an actual
addiction to chocolate. I would expect something on the order of
'Chocolate Habituation Syndrome (CHS)" ...
