Taking aspirin regularly can cut the long-term risk of cancer, according to the first major study of its kind.
British researchers found it can reduce the risk by 60 per cent in people with a family history of the disease.
The landmark research covering 16 countries is the first proof that the painkiller has a preventive action that is likely to benefit anyone using it every day.

Bump!
I take a couple aspirin everyday. Along with 3-4 thousand MGs fish oil.

It can deplete B vitamins.
How to make aspirin if you are lost in the woods:
Steps
1
Rip some bark off a willow tree.
2
Start a fire.
3
Bring water to a boil.
4
Place willow tree bark into the boiling water. Use 1-2 tsp for every 8 oz of water.
5
Simmer for 10-15 minutes.
6
Steep it as you would tea for 1/2 hour. This is basically aspirin - the chemical that aspirin is made of is found in the bark of willow trees. However, it isn’t exactly aspirin, but salicylic acid, which can have more side effects.
7
Drink the 3-4 cups daily
If you can survive the strokes.
How long until taking aspirin is mandatory?
OK.
Then don’t take it.
Up to you.
In truth,just about everything you can do depletes B vitamins, so it’s a good idea to supplement those if not every day, then every other day or so.
This is bullshit.
Aspirin can lead to strokes, and also liver damage.
If you’re worried about cancer, make your body more alcaline; cancer and oxygen cannot coexist.
Cruciferous veges and hot peppers are your friends, sugar, starches and grains (not seeds or nuts) are your enemies.
Brand-name aspirin is no more effective than generic or store brands.

That's why I take one a day.
From the article:
“He said: If we put them all on two aspirins a day now, in the next 30 years or so we would prevent 10,000 cancers. On the other hand, this would cause around 1,000 ulcers.
If we can prevent 10,000 cancers in return for 1,000 ulcers and 100 strokes, in most peoples minds thats a good deal, especially if youve grown up in a family with three, four, five, six people who have had cancer.”
New study: The McRib prevents the brain from being rotted by liberalism. McDonald's to offer it year round at all restaurants. ;~D
Believe it or not, it’s up to you, no skin off my rear end.
BTW, the word is spelled “alkaline”.
My Grandpa had a rule: he took an aspirin, an Ex-Lax, and a multivitamin every single day. No prescription meds unless he was at death’s door.
Even after he moved into the nursing home at the age of 98, he would have us sneak them in, because the nursing staff declined to participate! He had my Grandma on the same regimen; she passed away at 94, he at 99.
Aspirin, even low dosage, every day can cause microscopic colitis. The cure is simple but the discomfort monumental when it takes 6 months to diagnose.
Doesn’t say what dose. There are several with 325mg the top and 75/80 the least.

I take at least 2 aspirins daily and have done so for many years mostly for headaches. I will say that it has affected my stomach and I have to drink milk as a chaser so I don’t get sick. I know it has thinned my blood, and when I cut myself I bleed a lot. I’m 63 and have tried to do without aspirin, but I think I may have gotten hooked on them. I think they can also damage the kidneys.
