THE LARGER THE DOES THE GREATER THE PROTECTION, effects take several years since aspirin only promotes the death (apoptosis) of abnormal cells. The second know method of action is through COX-2 inhibition. Over-expression of COX-2 and increased prostaglandin biosynthesis correlates with carcinogensis and metastasis at most anatomic sites.
Stomach bleeding is greatly reduced by using coated aspirin. In properly controlled, fair studies the risk of stomach bleeding is about equal. And for the low dose in prophalitic use, (not the much higher does for pain management) the risk is slight--about, less than one per year per 1,000.
Goodman & Gilman, 11th Ed. P. 690: “Although aspirin is regarded as the standard against which other drugs should be compared for treatment of rheumatoid arthritis, many clinicians favor the use of other NSAIDs perceived to have better gastrointestinal tolerability, even though this perception remains unproven by convincing clinical trials.” {As I pointed out, most test use a a low does of a coated NSAID compared to an uncoated aspirin.--jk}
It has come to light in 05 that all the NSAIDs but aspirin increase the risk of heart attacks and strokes by accelerating the rate of plaque formation (viz. arteriosclerosis)—a fact few doctors are aware of.
Big PhARMA has attacked aspirin usage through two principle routes, stomach bleeds and Reyes Syndrome --both are a smear job. They have trained doctors to state that if there is a stomach bleed and aspirin is used (including the low dose) that aspirin is the cause. The bacteria Pylori has been established as the cause of stomach and duodenum ulcers. Yet when aspirin is used (almost always with other drugs), the cause is attributed to aspirin. As for Reyes Syndrome, once a laboratory (rather than symptomatic) method of diagnosis was established, the association with aspirin approached zero (2 per year), yet nearly all doctors believe it is a significant health risk for children. For pregnant women, reduces C-section 400% by lowering incidence of hypertension.

The other NSAIDs have serious side effects which pharma hides. For example acetaminophen (http://healthfully.org/bta/) is strong associated with asthma and liver failure Body Makes Own Aspirin Compound A study in the Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry finds that humans can manufacture their own salicylic acid, the major part of aspirin. Another study, in Nature, shows that plants make their own salicylic acid at wound sites. Karen Hopkin reports Aspirin is
a popular painkiller, and chances are you have some in your medicine chest right now. You might
even have some in your flesh-and-blood, put-a-shirt-on-it chest. Because a new study suggests that humans
can make their own salicylic acid, which forms the bulk of aspirin’s active ingredient. —Karen Hopkin
