It always amazes me how you can take numbers and twist them they way they fit you and be technically correct. I bet many (if not most) people will only remember the headline.

#82although indiscriminate long term aspiring can cause GI side effects
I'm annoyed that the FDA has kept cox-2 selective inhibitors restricted when the data I've seen shows they have lower GI risks and similar cardiovascular risks as other NSAIDs.

#83Probably more like lower inflammation reduces all cause mortality.
I wonder if this is a reduction in mortality that was caused by an increase in chronic inflammation from modern life, stress and obesity. In a healthy fit human, inflammation is a good thing, it is the body's construction and maintenance crew. Chronic inflammation is not good, but that is a side effect of an underlying issue (in my understanding so far)
if you're always under construction it means shit is falling apart

I am very skeptical about these side effect claims. Do you have hard data supporting this or doctor hearsay. Years ago I remember watching Charlie Rose Brain series where one of the professors said something like “ we know of two drugs that we are certain are very safe for human beings: alcohol and aspirin.”
Anecdata: even a few days of low-dose aspirin causes me terrible GI pain and exacerbates an otherwise 30-year dormant ulcer. I would love to be able to take it, but I can't tolerate it at all.

#86Does this Aspirin group have any connections to producers? Is this an ad?
Im currently in Cardiff University. I wonder if I can just go and ask them about it
