Taking a small dose of aspirin every day has been linked to a reduced risk of cancer. Aspirin (acetylsalicylic acid) is a drug that has been used for many years as a painkiller. It has an anti-inflammatory action, and is used to relieve various pain and it costs 1 penny per tablet.
It works by helping to prevent blood clots forming in the blood vessels, by stopping cells in the blood known as platelets from sticking together and clogging an artery.
There is considerable evidence suggesting aspirin can reduce the risk of getting or dying from many different types of cancer. Early studies suggested the benefits come from taking high doses of aspirin. But, the latest research suggests even small doses - 75mg - can reduce the risk of cancer when taken for at least five years.
Supposedly aspirin can affect your health in other ways, such as increasing the chances of bleeding from the gut. So they advise you speak with your doctor.
