Don't read this and start taking daily aspirin without talking to your doctor. Aspirin isn't like a vitamin, it can cause serious problems with daily usage.

Well. A lot of people could benefit from a cardiovascular protective dose of aspirin. Like everything, it has side effects.

Now whether that actually does anything to cancer risk or if it's too low... Needs further research.

Yes, but it's not a great idea to start that either without talking to your doctor first. There are sufficient potential risks with ongoing aspirin use that it's not a given that it will be a net benefit for you even though it is for a lot of people.

This advice has been withdrawn due to the serious side effects of a daily low dose aspirin.

[esafak]

Namely?

Ulcers, bleeding, hemorrhagic stroke, kidney or liver failure, other allergic reactions and interactions with other drugs.

Sounds kinda like the standard american diet.

And when dietary issues or any number of other things causes gastric issues or any number of the other things on that list, there's a very real risk that nsaids can make them significantly worse for some patients.

You'll want to know if you're at risk before you start taking it regularly.
