well it would depend on your age and risk factors if your 30 and every one in your family lived to be 95 then you might want to weigh the risk's of gi bleeding etc but if you have a family history of coronary disease especially if it it is early onset then knock yourself out, 2 325 mg aspirin a week most likely will not hurt you at all and ver well may save your life if you already have had an mi though I would recommend plavix (great drug)
