Harvard Study Advises People To Stop Taking Aspirin For Heart Health The study by Harvard University and Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center urges millions to stop taking asprin to improve heart health. It comes after decades of <br />doctors prescribing a daily dose <br />of asprin to prevent stroke or heart attack. The research found that 29 million people <br />over 40 years old were taking the medication <br />daily without having heart disease. Multiple studies have shown that the <br />benefits of taking asprin is marginal, if that. The results led to American Heart Association <br />and American College of Cardiology to <br />change their guidelines.
