Aspirin?

Researchers found that the risks of bleeding from taking aspirin were such that its routine use in healthy people "cannot be supported" -- although they did not dispute its use in patients with a history of vascular problems. A person almost concludes from this study that Aspirin causes major bleeding. However if the person can just get a weak heart, then the bleeding is less and Aspirin helps.

Who are these people who do this specious research? And who are these writers who jump on it as if they are saving the world from taking too much Aspirin. Aspirin thins the blood. Ok. I get it. If you cut yourself and you are a major aspirin taker, then theoretically you will bleed easier than a non-aspirin taker who cut themselves in the identical spot etc. Get it?

Research is at best difficult. Placebo benchmarks are the standard, as if the placebo was the only difference in the test groups. Guess what? It is not. Proof. Do two tests both with placebos and you will get a difference in bleeding between the two groups. Because people are different. Groups of people have inherent statistical differences greater than the statistical difference of the Aspirin study. Conclusion -- the Aspirin research conclusions are fuzzy at best.
