Does an aspirin a day really help? A 5-year, Japanese, study with over 14,000 patients showed a 100 mg. enteric-coated aspirin did not change the rate of death, nor stroke or heart attack rate. (some people had high blood pressure, high cholesterol or diabetes.)
People did, however, have more stomach pain, heartburn, ulcers, esophagitis, gastro hemorrhage, nausea and IBS symptoms. There were 2x more strokes with brain hemorrhage, and remember a former post on an aspirin study?-hearing loss.
Aspirin can also affect health by depleting vitamin C, calcium, B vitamins, iron, potassium and sodium. The list of problems from lowering these nutrients is long with everything from fatigue to heart disease!
A few studies promoting aspirin are misleading as the aspirin used contained a nutrient, that when deficient, is known to bring on heart attacks.
Scientists tell us 85% of the U.S. population is deficient in this nutrient and we’re glad to fill you in on what this is about.
Nutrients are needed to feed the body for a healthy future of making fall memories-like picking apples and carving pumpkins! After all, no one gets sick because of an aspirin deficiency.
