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.
