"For years, healthy seniors were advised to take low-dose aspirin to reduce heart attack and stroke risk.
"The rationale was that aspirin acts as a blood thinner, reducing the risk that a blood clot could cause a heart attack or stroke by clogging an artery.
"But in 2019, the leading heart groups — the American College of Cardiology and the American Heart Association — reversed that recommendation in a set of new guidelines.
"The groups concluded that daily aspirin for healthy seniors 70 and older wasn’t worth the risk of gastrointestinal bleeding.
"If you’re over 70, taking aspirin to prevent a first heart attack or stroke could do more harm than good," the AHA now says on its website."

@whozis I suspect that the $500.00 per month Eliquis and Xarelto were more profitable than the aspirin. This is, of course, more important.
@RobertJohn -- as someone who is sensitive to all NSAIDs and who has suffered from bleeding ulcers as a result of taking low-dose children's aspirin for three days, I felt that it was a good warning. There is a real danger, perhaps not for everyone, but for some like me.
