Aspirin May Prevent Breast Cancer Recurrence

by on 18/02/10 at 6:16 am

This week a study came out showing the likely benefit of aspirin in prevention of breast cancer recurrence.

While the study says the findings don’t mean every woman should run out and start taking regular aspirin, the study does inadvertently support dietary recommendations to help prevent breast cancer and recurrence by showing the mechanism for aspirin’s action: inflammation.

Inflammation is natural and beneficial in the body; however, inappropriate or chronic inflammation is unnatural and dangerous to the body. A great resource on the anti-inflammatory diet is Dr Andrew Weil and his book Healthy Aging.
