I take 100mg almost daily myself, but some studies say that for people without a prior stroke, myocardial infarction or Angina pectoris it can even be harmful. [1][2]

According to most general physicians here in Germany I shouldn't be taking it as a person without said medical history.

I don't plan to continue taking daily Asprin when I have met my weight loss and exercise goals.

This new evidence for benefits with cancer patients is very interesting.

Studies like that are hard to judge as a layman, meta-studies even more so.

[2] found:

> Cancer was the major contributor to the higher mortality in the aspirin group, accounting for 1.6 excess deaths per 1000 person-years. Cancer-related death occurred in 3.1% of the participants in the aspirin group and in 2.3% of those in the placebo group

In addition there's the risk of gastrointestinal bleeding.
