Here’s The Problem<\/b><\/p>\n

Millions of people – including a substantial number of the “worried well” – take a daily dose of the drug in the belief it will keep them healthy.<\/p>\n

But at a conference for leading doctors, British scientists said they have found that for healthy people taking aspirin does not significantly reduce the risk of a heart attack.<\/p>\n

At the same time they found it almost doubles the risk of being admitted to hospital due to internal bleeding.<\/p>\n

The findings show that for otherwise healthy people the risks of taking aspirin outweigh the benefits. The doctors stressed that patients who had already suffered a heart attack should continue to take the drug.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

What To Do Then?<\/b><\/p>\n

Perhaps an alternative to this pill is a daily glass of wine — which ALSO decreases platelett accumulation in your arteries, ALSO has healthy polyphenols and resveretrols, and ALSO tastes a lot better than an aspirin pill!!<\/p>\n
