I do appreciated that link, though I seriously doubt that number.  They have no supporting data whatsoever, and I do believe Canadian research over U. S. Government research any day.

This forum is a supplement forum.  Aspirin is an herbal remedy that if it were discovered today would be available via prescription only.  It is an extract from birch bark that has been used as an herbal supplement since at least the time of the early Greeks.  Yes, it is now synthetic, but so are loads of vitamins.  But fortunately it is not in the hands of the pharmaceuticals and covered by prescriptions.  By the way, the anti-aspirin (anti herbal) people don't quote any statistics about the hundreds of thousands of lives which have been improved and extended with this birch bark herbal medicine.

It is the responsibility of every human being to verify the treatment they receive from anyone, allopathic or otherwise.  Many don't and they lose their lives to quacks and snake oil peddlers.
