Scientists believe taking aspirin for five+ years can reduce the risk of large bowel cancer (and other cancers too).

You can do the aspirin with a cup of milk as calcium aids the body in absorbing the aspirin.

Heart attack and stroke candidates have always been warned about bleeding risks associated with aspirin – but the risk seemed slight compared to the benefits aspirin provided to the sick heart.

Now there may be a decrease in cancer related deaths if aspirin is part of a long-term daily regimen. It seems that aspirin health risks are minor compared to the new benefits suggested from the cancer study.

Prof. Peter Rothwell stressed that “these results do not mean that all adults should immediately start taking aspirin.”

Specifically, a British research team unearthed evidence that a low-dose aspirin (75 milligrams) taken daily for at least five years brings about a 10 percent to 60 percent drop in fatalities depending on the type of cancer.
