Aspirin is actually an amazing thing. Okay, it increases your risk of stomach bleeding [nice!], but otherwise it is an amazing thing. <\/span><\/p>\n

Here’s what they did<\/b><\/span><\/div>\n

<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

In a study of eight different trials involving 25,570 patients, researchers found that cancer deaths among those who took aspirin in doses as low as 75 milligrams a day were 21 percent lower during the studies and 34 percent lower after five years.<\/span><\/div>\n
Pretty impressive<\/b> <\/i><\/span><\/div>\n
However, you can get similar results with a glass of a cup of coffee in the morning (colon cancer prevention), a glass of wine at dinner (heart disease prevention), and eating real food [a la the Mediterranean diet] reduction of risk of ALL MORTALITY by 50%.  <\/i><\/span><\/div>\n

<\/span><\/i><\/span><\/p>\n

And if you try the above, it typically doesn’t induce internal bleeding. Just sayin’. <\/span><\/div>\n
Back to the study<\/b><\/span><\/div>\n
Peter Rothwell of Britain’s Oxford University said <\/span>that healthy people could start taking a small 75 mg dose of aspirin every day from the age of about 40 or 45 and continue doing so until they reached around 70 to 75, when the risk of the aspirin causing stomach bleeding rises.<\/span><\/div>\n

<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Aspirin, originally developed by Bayer, is a cheap over-the-counter drug used for pain and to reduce fever.<\/span><\/div>\n

<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

In Rothwell’s study, published in The Lancet, researchers found the 20-year risk of death was reduced by about 10 percent for prostate cancer, 30 percent for lung cancer, 40 percent for colorectal or bowel cancer and 60 percent for oesophageal cancer in those taking aspirin.<\/span><\/div>\n
