Aspirin-a-wonder-drug-studies-show-it-may-prevent-cancer

From: Trout, Larry R

 

This study doesn’t appear to explain why aspirin helps, but just establishes a correlation.

I would assume the reduction of inflammation helps the body respond to cancer and heart disease.

 

From: Coffey, John R

 

One thing that troubles me about this is that I don’t think that we get cancer because we have an aspirin deficiency.  If I am correct, then I wonder what else is deficient in our diet that makes us need aspirin to keep us healthy?

I started taking those baby aspirins 81mg about a year or more ago.

‘The U.S. Food and Drug Administration said at the time it was reviewing the group's petition but stressed that the drinks were still safe. An FDA spokesman said a person would have to drink "well over a thousand cans of soda a day to reach the doses administered in the studies that have shown links to cancer in rodents".’
