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:

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. "

Not only does it cause internal bleeding (NSAIDs are particularly well known for causing the liver to bleed!), but that myth that a daily aspirin is 'good' for heart health has been completely debunked.

Huh? What are you basing that on?

I did overstate it when I said it's been totally debunked, but there is clear evidence that it is not as effective as people have been led to believe, and that aspirin is a bandaid for an underlying problem that needs to be addressed.

My dad starting taking daily aspirin after what was a misdiagnosed mild heart issue and almost died from a GI bleed 3 weeks later.......scary stuff.

I don't get how with all these drugs the game has developed for horse welfare, the advances in modern equine medicine, that horses run about 1/3 as often as they did in the "30 years ago".
