Aspirin was very commonly prescribed as you got older so you don’t have as high a risk for stroke or heart attack. The risk being more bleeding.now the cnn expert says that makes no sense? I’m for the downfall of the current regime, but this sounds like some common knowledge situation. Only think off is taking the higher dose.
