For a long time, it was recommended to take an aspirin a day to prevent heart attacks. But British researchers are now claiming that this is doing more harm than good.
Millions of Britons are prescribed low-dose aspirin after a heart attack. But according to the British scientists, many people do not realize the risks of this. Research has shown that one aspirin a day doubles the risk of dangerous internal bleeding.
Especially diabetics are prescribed aspirin because doctors consider this a risk group, but this does not outweigh the disadvantages of taking an aspirin daily. Healthy people have no benefit at all from taking an aspirin every day, the study shows.
