Please forgive a tiny bit of snark. I've long heard that if aspirin had been discovered today, the FDA would have never allowed it to be sold OTC to people. Along those lines, in aviation there's a saying: Wilbur and Orville would have never gotten permission to build the Wright flyer if they applied last year.
I'm a vitamin junkie (Don't pick on me, it's my FSM), so I've been taking low-dose aspirin for over a decade now. If I remember my health-nut mythology correctly, the theory is that inflammation (and especially inflammation related to blood sugar spikes) is believe to be a contributing factor to a lot of bad stuff: diabetes, cancer, aging, and so on.
Interesting to see aspirin continuing to make the news. Amazing drug.
