Aspirin has helped with heart health for years, the latest news says it may prevent breast cancer from returning. 4,000 women participated in the Harvard researcher's study (Nurses Health Study), they found women who had stage 1,2 or 3 of breast cancer and took aspirin on a regular basis a year after diagnosis were 50% less likely to die or have the cancer spread than the women who didnt take aspirin. This made many women with the cancer think 'should I start taking aspirin'? The experts say no, "if your already taking aspirin than for other diseases than you can take comfort in knowing you might be preventing the cancer from coming back."
This is good to know. Because if you can help reduce your risk of getting cancer just by taking an apirin a day then it might be worth it.
