Aspirin is good for the liver and harmful to the stomach

Aspirin reduces the risk of liver cancer or death from chronic liver disease by 50%, even if taking one tablet once a month. This is the conclusion, researchers from the National Cancer Institute in the United States.

People who took aspirin at least once a month for a whole year, 49% less likely to fall ill   liver cancer   and 50% less likely to die from chronic liver disease   in the next 10 years compared with those who did not use this medicine. American scientists have found another proof of the miraculous power of aspirin. Science has found that it significantly reduces the risk of cancer, as well as the risk of heart attack and stroke.

The latter account for the study was based on a survey of 300,000 people aged 50 to 71 years. At first, they talked about how often used aspirin and other pain medications in the last 12 months. The researchers then followed the illnesses and deaths of people over 10-12 years.

However, some experts still wary calls to the exaltation of aspirin as a means of prevention for each person. This type of medication is too well known to science that increases the risk of internal bleeding, particularly in the gastrointestinal region. In this regard, the usefulness of aspirin, even just as a means of protection against cardiovascular disease remains a big question.

As for liver disease Including cancer, is a good means of prevention is vaccination and a healthy lifestyle. It is not necessary to lean on aspirin and if you have liver problems. One side effect of the drug is a gastric bleeding, and "liverwort" special predisposition to him. Moreover, the authors of the study did not consider how many of its members have died because of bleeding.
