The researchers found that the risks of bleeding from taking an aspirin were substantial enough that its regular use for the average healthy person “cannot be supported”. Although these researchers did not dispute aspirins use for patients with a history of vascular issues.
One of the most common causes of increased bleeding risk is exposure to non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). The prototype for these drugs is Aspirin, which inhibits the production of thromboxane.
NSAIDs inhibit the activation of platelets, and thereby increase the risk of bleeding.
The idea of an aspirin-a-day for vascular disease is sound when you are looking at the goal, but the means is too unhealthy and dangerous according to all the studies concerning the health of the person.
