Asprin May Be Dangerous To Your Health

For many years aspirin has been the prized child of the medical community. It has been recommended as a method to prevent everything from heart attacks to colon cancer. We are now seeing that the benefits do NOT support the known risks. If you’re currently taking aspirin to prevent colon cancer, it’s not worth the risk as we have mentioned before.

Researchers at the University of Chicago reported that the use of aspirin and any nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug many other pain medications carries ain increased risk of bleeding. One or two people out of 100 using these drugs each year will have a major bleed that causes hospitalization, possible transfusion, and even death in many cases.

Several other studies have now shown that aspirin doesn’t really reduce the risk of developing colon cancer. When you take into account the increased risk in other conditions like stroke and liver or kidney failure, routine use of aspirin and other NSAIDs is not harmless.
