Should You Take an ASPIRIN EVERYDAY?

Healthy people who take aspirin to prevent a heart attack or stroke could be doing more harm than good, warn researchers. An analysis of more than 100,000 patients, published in Archives of Internal Medicine, concluded the risk of internal bleeding was too high.

Experts said any decision should be made with a doctor.

It is widely believed aspirin helps people who have had a heart attack or stroke. It prevents blood clots from forming by preventing cells, known as platelets, from sticking together. By reducing the number of clots formed, the aspirin is supposed to reduce the risk of another heart attack or stroke.
