Welcome to the first Nutrition Blog from Dr. McNabb. While it will focus on nutrition for the most part, it will also touch on subjects of general health.
I am often asked if daily aspirin is a good idea. Many physicians recommend it. However, the research has not been clear cut. Many studies that have used baby aspirin dosages (81 mg) have not shown benefit. Yet the Harvard study on Physicians showed that an adult dosage (325) every other day indicated a positive benefit. It thus appears that perhaps 2 baby aspirin daily might be the best recommendation.
I am posting a link to the article from the American Journal of Medicine I am referring to.
