There have been recent studies on people taking an aspirin a day on a regular basis.(325 or 81mg) It was found that some of those taking it that way had microbleeds in the brain.

Aspirin has always been a double edged sword.

But I believe it is a great anti-inflammatory. Some people with Rheumatoid arthritis, use it still today.

We have some recent posts in our Health News forum about preventing skin cancer in fact:

It has been suggested also as a preventive measure for colon cancer in the past.

If you want to try it, please consult your doctor before doing so and discuss the risks vs benefits for your particular medical situation.
