Long term use of aspirin causes pancreatic cancer, says research
by Mike Adams (see all articles by this author)
Still believing the myth that a daily dose of aspirin is good for you? It turns out that the drug causes pancreatic cancer over long-term use.
- U.S. researchers have found evidence that long-term use of aspirin
increased the risk of pancreatic cancer in a large group of women.
- Most recent studies about such anti-inflammatory drugs have found
evidence they offer protection against diseases such as heart disease
and stroke and may reduce the risk of breast cancer, mouth and throat
cancer, lung cancer and Alzheimer's disease.
- Harvard University researcher Eva Schernhammer was expecting to find a
positive effect of acetylsalicylic acid (which is marketed under the
brand name Aspirin), of ibuprofen and of other non-steroidal
anti-inflammatory drugs when she began investigating pancreatic-cancer
risk.
- Dr. Schernhammer concluded that extended use of ASA may increase the
risk of getting pancreatic cancer by as much as 86 per cent.
