If you are like me you never heard that consumption of aspirin could increase the risk of pancreatic cancer. That was the conclusion of one study of tens of thousands of nurses: "Extended periods of regular aspirin use appear to be associated with a statistically significantly increased risk of pancreatic cancer among women." No drug is completely safe and they can have risks as well as benefits.
Salicylate intolerance can be a serious medical condition. Breathing, the skin and the digestive tract can be impacted. I have seen the condition which is often overlooked by the medical profession. Aspirin contains salicylates, but they are also found in many foods. Sensitization to these compounds can contribute to intolerances to foods with high salicylate content including: curry, oregano, paprika and other peppers, oranges, and currants. Dr. Ben Feingold long ago identified salicylate intolerance as a possible contributor to ADHD in children. Regular aspirin use may sensitize to salicylates.
