CS, there's plenty of debate about it, and it's not driven by whackos. Google "daily aspirin" for a sample.

Here's a link to the Mayo Clinic's recommendation:

http://www.mayoclinic.com/print/dail...3/METHOD=print

Here's part of what Mayo says:

"You should a daily aspirin only if your doctor advises you to do so. If you have had a heart attack or stroke, your doctor will likely recommend you take a daily aspirin unless you have a serious allergy or history of bleeding. If you have a high risk of having a first heart attack, your doctor might recommend aspirin after weighing the risks and benefits. You shouldn't start daily aspirin therapy on your own.

Although taking an occasional aspirin or two is safe for most adults to use for headaches, body aches or fever, daily use of aspirin can have serious side effects, including internal bleeding.
