pancreatic cancer. It's not some tiny increase, either: the study shows that popping 14 or more aspirin tablets a week results in an 86% increase in the risk of contracting pancreatic cancer. So why have we all been taught to take an aspirin a day to prevent heart attacks? It's all in the economics, of course. No surprise here: the primary promoters of the "aspirin a day" myth are, in fact, the very companies that manufacture and market aspirin. If they can manage to get half the population on this "aspirin a day" bandwagon, they'll generate obscenely large profits, year after year. And yet, no human being should be on aspirin as a lifelong regimen. If you're at risk for heart attacks, you're far better off turning to nutrition, herbs, fitness and exercise as your tools for lifelong change, not some over the counter drug that increases your risk of pancreatic cancer. And pancreatic cancer is only the tip of the iceberg. Aspirin is also blamed for tens of thousands of deaths each year due to gastrointestinal bleeding. This only happens after long-term use of the drug, of course, which should lead any intelligent person to the obvious conclusion: aspirin is only safe when used rarely, and its use should be limited to the temporary relief of pain, not as a lifelong alteration to your body's biochemistry.
