Asprins aren't good for the heart. They thin the blood down, and help to increase blood flow through narrow arteries.

I presume it's something to do with the fact that it thins your blood that also helps with bowel cancer.

I wish I had known this years ago, as my dad died of bowel cancer, and a friend is recovering.
