The Harmless Aspirin!

Even though the chemical workings of aspirin have only recently been understood,
people have used this drug like it was a harmless sweet. For many people the use
of aspirin and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs are just a way of life.

Observations have been mounting as to the role that this ‘innocent’ little drug
has in the development of pancreatic cancer. Recently, the results of an 18 year
study were released. It provided interesting reading.

The study, entitled, ‘A prospective study of aspirin use and the risk of
pancreatic cancer in women’ was published in the Journal of the National Cancer
Institute, Vol. 96, No. 1, 22-28, January 7, 2004

They studied 88,378 women without cancer at baseline and documented 161 cases of
pancreatic cancer during 18 years of follow-up. Aspirin use was first assessed
at baseline in 1980 and updated biennially thereafter.

What they found was that increasing duration of regular aspirin use, compared
with non-use, was associated with a statistically significant increase in risk.

Women who reported more than 20 years of regular aspirin use had an increased
risk of pancreatic cancer of 58%.

Among women who reported aspirin use on at least two of three consecutive
biennial questionnaires compared with consistent non-users of aspirin, the risk
increased with dose:

One to three tablets per week: 11% increased risk

Four to six tablets per week: 29% increased risk

Seven to 13 tablets per week 41% increased risk

Over 14 tablets per week: 86% increased risk

Extended periods of regular aspirin use appear to be associated with a
statistically significant increased risk of pancreatic cancer among women.

The continual use of the ‘Harmless Aspirin’ certainly seems to have some
undesirable ramifications. Wouldn’t it make more sense to investigate the cause
of the problems that these drugs are designed to treat?

I believe that.....Cancer from Aspirin.......As small of a risk as it may seem its actually a very big deal and am not surprised how much harm it could do to your body, not to mention Antibiotics, now that is another story altogether, but if Aspirin is a killer i can only begin to think of what Antibiotics does long term...

RE: The Harmless Aspirin!

If you are taking a 75/80mg Aspirin daily to thin the blood and prevent strokes KEEP ON TAKING IT!
After food.
The chances of it harming you is small. Very small. And the benefits are LARGE!

RE: The Harmless Aspirin!

I think it is questionable....

If something of this level of importantance was published in Jan 2004, and nothing has come of it .....

I know what that tells me....

Cancer is nothing to fool with or about....surely.....

but neither are scare tactics......

Post more about where the article itself was published please.....
