Could preventing cancer be as simple as popping an Aspirin a day?According to an analysis of data on more than 25,000 volunteers who in trials took low-dose aspirin or a placebo in trials to lower their risk of heart disease, researchers found that the aspirin takers reduced their risk of dying from solid cancers by 21% vs. the placebo group during a five-year follow-up.
The results open the possibility that aspirin may become a powerful tool in the prevention of a variety of cancers.
This information is from the December 20, 2010 Time Magazine, Lab Report section.
Be sure to discuss with your doctor before taking any over the counter medications including Aspirin.
To your health
