...the humble aspirin can stop secondary cancer. It prevents cancer cells latching onto platelets in the blood and being carried off to infect another part of the body. We already know it is good for avoiding/controlling heart problems too. But, before ye start popping an aspirin every day to enjoy these benefits you must get checked out by yer doctor... Your blood pressure must be under control otherwise popping aspirin every day may leave you more susceptible to strokes. You also must have a test to make sure you don't have the viral bacteria in your stomach that causes ulcers. If you do, a course of antibiotics must be taken to clear that up before you start regularly taking aspirin. Stay healthy people.
