Angela HernandezYes, factors like the environment and the foods we eat could contribute to cancer, and as with any cancer treatment or drug currently recommended, there is no guarantee that they would be successful. However, this new NOSH-aspirin has shown its potency and effectiveness on human cancer cells and colon cancer tumors. Based on this new drug’s results, I believe that aspirin does merit further investigation for cancer prevention and treatment.

Homa YahyaviAspirin does not help. I do not have scientific back up for it. But I have seen in the people who have been using aspirin for many years for the same reason stated in article and being healthy diagnosed with deadly cancer!! It is the environment we live in which is toxic. People's body are different and react differently to different things.
