I'm just wondering if this has come up on the radar for others in their 50s and what do you think?
I've read various articles in the general press in the past couple of years and am wondering whether to start taking aspirin myself.
quite an informative Telegraph article here
My father had cancer at age 49, recovered, and later died of a different cancer aged 81.
My maternal grandmother, who lived to nearly 95, always had a packet of aspirin on her kitchen shelf. It seemed to be her remedy for everything!
I suppose all the sensible posters are going to say check with your GP first but I really don't want to be a time waster! I wouldn't check with my GP if I was going to take a vitamin or mineral supplement - is it really necessary for aspirin?
