Take two aspirin and call me in the morning?

I can’t remember the last time I took an Aspirin, in fact I don’t even have any in my house. Maybe it’s time to give it another look.

Aspirin may cut risk of common breast cancer typeJames Randerson The Guardian, Thursday May 1 2008

A daily dose of aspirin reduces a woman’s chance of developing a particular type of breast cancer by 16%, according to a study of more than 126,000 women.  The latest research backs up a review of 21 studies which found that anti-inflammatory drugs such as aspirin reduce breast cancer risk by up to 20%. About 45,000 women a year in the UK are diagnosed with breast cancer.
