Is Aspirin Safe For Adults?

According to a recent article on Yahoo News, titled "Low-Dose Aspirin Does Not Eliminate Gastric Risk", researchers are saying that there is no evidence that using a lower dose of aspirin will reduce "incidence of bleeding in the gut." The use of low dose aspirin was thought to minimize serious side effects but according to reports, researchers state that "long-term aspirin therapy, even at a low dose, carries a risk of gastrointestinal hemorrhage."

According to a recent article on Yahoo News, titled “Low-Dose Aspirin Does Not Eliminate Gastric Risk”, researchers are saying that there is no evidence that using a lower dose of aspirin will reduce “incidence of bleeding in the gut.”

The use of low dose aspirin was thought to minimize serious side effects but according to reports, researchers state that “long-term aspirin therapy, even at a low dose, carries a risk of gastrointestinal hemorrhage.”

In an article on MSNBC regarding the same topic, a doctor stated that “It may be more appropriate for some people to eat an apple rather than an aspirin a day.”

An apple a day and an adjustment at least once a week sounds like a better plan to us.
