Doctors have long been prescribing aspirin as a blood thinner to anyone at risk of heart disease.<\/p>\nDoctors have long been prescribing aspirin as a blood thinner to anyone at risk of heart disease.<\/p>\n
But does it help?<\/p>\n
Or does it harm?<\/p>\n
This has never been well-researched.<\/p>\n
A new study published in The New England Journal of Medicine<\/em> attempts to answer these questions.<\/p>\n And their results are nothing short of terrifying!<\/p>\n Takeaways:<\/em><\/p>\n 2.\tIncreased Risk of Major Bleeding<\/strong>: Those who took aspirin were 38% more likely to suffer from major hemorrhages, such as gastrointestinal or brain bleeding, compared to the placebo group. Aspirin causes stroke.<\/p>\n 3.\tNo Impact on Longevity or Cognitive Decline<\/strong>: A second study by the same researchers found no difference between the aspirin and placebo groups in terms of longevity, dementia, or physical disability rates. Again, aspirin users had a 38% higher risk of major hemorrhage.<\/p>\n 4.\tHigher Risk of Death<\/strong>: In a third study, aspirin users were 14% more likely to die from any cause, with cancer being a major factor\u2014aspirin takers were 31% more likely to die from cancer than those taking a placebo.\n<\/dd>\n<\/dl>\n Conclusion: Aspirin has no cardiovascular benefits. But it causes stroke and cancer.<\/p>\n So, if aspirin isn\u2019t the answer, what can you do to protect yourself from heart attack and stroke?<\/p>\n The most important thing: clear cholesterol plaque from your arteries (not just lower your cholesterol level). How? Cut ONE ingredient\u2026 you didn\u2019t even know you were consuming\u2026<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n
