I never realized that taking it daily could have side effects, my grandmother took one aday for years, was rarely ill and lived to the grand old age of 95.

I really do agree that the government should do something about this.What kind of a future are we creating for ourselves? Such an interesing article, especailly the bit about aspirin.
