The Annenberg Public Policy Center recently reported the following: "For years, healthy older adults were advised by doctors to take a low-dose aspirin daily to reduce the risk of heart attack. But in March 2019, the American College of Cardiology and the American Heart Association (AHA) announced new guidelines and no longer routinely recommended a daily dose of aspirin for healthy adults over the age of 70 because the risk of gastrointestinal bleeding outweighs the benefits." The article points out that five years later almost half of Americans still believe that the benefits of daily use of aspirin outweigh the risks. Almost one in five Americans with no family history of heart disease take low dose aspirin on a regular basis.
Dr. Jonathan Wright wrote an article long ago suggesting that doctors would probably be better off recommending supplementation with quality omega-3 fatty acids than aspirin for promotion of health and reduction in risk of heart disease. NeoLife Salmon Oil Plus contains all 8 members of the omega-3 family, is a ultra-high potency concentrate, and is tested for over 200 pollutants with a standard of zero.
