Importantly the results were only positive for those:

Much like low dose aspirin its possible this is a bad idea for the average person unless you are already showing signs of heart disease.

How is low dose aspirin bad for the average person? It is an anti-inflammatory, and inflammation is a leading theory of potential disease causation for a number of diseases. Daily low dose aspirin is associated with a significantly lower all-cause mortality in average people.

There's a small dollar cost, and there's this whole section: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aspirin#Adverse_effects

Nothing there suggests it is bad for the average person. The average person will lower their chances of dying by taking daily low dose aspirin. The average person does not have a sensitivity to aspirin, and the side effects of high dose aspirin don't apply.

Aspirin has detrimental effects on stomach, thats how. Ibuprofen was created because of that.

Think 1 teaspoon of blood per day that you bleed from stomach.

Vitamin C can prevent some of that but it still exists.

It has such effects only in a small portion of people, and only in high doses. That is not a reason for average people to avoid a daily low dose, which has a direct reduction in all cause mortality.
