Older adults without heart disease shouldn't take daily low-dose aspirin to prevent a first heart attack or stroke, an influential health guidelines group said in preliminary updated advice released Tuesday.

My grandmother died in her 80’s from bleeding in her stomach, which the doctor attributed to aspirin use. So I would take this seriously.
Same here. Getting old sucks.
It occurs to me that the bleeding risk caused by aspirin depends on how much food with vitamin k and c a person consumes.
Anyone have experience with Gabapentin? It seems like it is sort of treated like an opioid with the pharmacy even though it is not a controlled substance
Seeing a lot of stuff about it being abused. think they give it for shingles pain
You are 100 percent correct.....anything like ASA that could help prevent the coof is now touted on the MSM as not factual. Yet, now idiot Sheeple will stop taking ASA because “Big Brother” told them that is was “BAD”!
IT’S NOT A PANDEMIC......IT’S AN IQ TEST AMERICA!
My doc recommended 81Mg aspirin daily many years ago. I started doing that and then did some reading. I have been off of it for a couple of years now.
NOT SO FAST: Decades old research has proven that the survivability from hemorrhagic stroke (the real killer) is enhanced with aspirin while the incidence of ischemic stroke (not the real killer) is modestly increased with aspirin. Aspirin also reduces cancer incidence as well.
We’ve known for years to not take daily aspirin except in known disease.
Framingham study data
Didn’t read the article, but if it’s from the CDC I’ll ignore.

A few slices of pineapple provides more vitamin c than you need.
I already take an anti-inflammatory medication (Piroxicam) that has aspirin in it, so I can’t take any additional aspirin products.
Good
Old news - they keep vacillating (heh) between its better to help against clots and it ups the risk too much for internal bleeding and this doesn’t really add anything definitive one way or the other.
This depends...
I know some old folks in great shape. Most however have one foot in the grave and are on a crap ton of meds.
Diet and exercise plays the biggest roles.
Good luck!
I just read an article saying lumberjacks,carpenters carry a container of black pepper and apply that to cuts and keep that with bandage for a couple of days and it heals perfectly.
Remember the old food groups pyramid? Remember the whole margarine craze? Eggs are bad for ya crap? On and on.
I don’t trust a damn thing these government regulatory agencies say. Not even a tiny lil bit.
However these studies do not take into account the purported benefit that a daily aspirin may have in suppressing various adenocarcinomas.
