So aspirin is good. Let's take advantage of it before they come out with a subsequent report that says aspirin is bad.

I've taken a baby aspirin every day for years as cardiac protection. I don't know if it helps with PCa also, but so far no heart attacks. Also no elephant stampedes or alien space invasions. It's not easy to prove a negative.

Took baby Aspirin for 10 years, still got G6 but didn't have a heart attack. Can't see that it hurt anything but I wouldn't get rabid about it... IMHO one just has to eat healthy, live healthy and do prudent age related things like Aspirin moderately; after that it's a dice roll.

I have taken baby aspirin for 20 plus years, I also drink at least 10 cups of coffee, and I have been on statins for 30 years. Also I eat low fat, all of which should lower the risk of prostate cancer, but here I am.
