How does taking a daily aspirin help prevent cancer?

One of the greatest things you can do for your health takes literally a half second. If that's not incentive, I don't know what is. A half second a day can translate into extra years of life.

Taking 162 milligrams of aspirin a day (that's two baby aspirins or half a regular, taken with a half glass of warm water before and after) can decrease the risk of getting colon cancer, esophageal cancer, prostate cancer, ovarian cancer, and breast cancer—all by 40 percent. And it probably decreases the risk of stomach, throat, and several other cancers as well. Aspirin provides this through the reduction of inflammation throughout the body, although other cell repair mechanisms may be active as well.

I know aspirin has side effects, but the benefits—a younger arterial system and a decreased risk of at least four big cancers—often outweigh the risks. So discuss with your doc whether it's worth it to you.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
