For a little while pill that costs pennies, aspirin may be the closest thing we will ever find to a wonder drug. Not only does it relieve headaches, ease the pain of arthritis and thin the blood to ward of strokes and heart attacks, but as we learned last year, it may also protect against cancers of the pancreas, colon and prostate and even forestall Alzheimer’s disease. Unfortunately , we also learned that aspirin isn’t a wonder drug for everyone:
some 30% of Americans are aspirin resistant and may need either higher doses or a different drug altogether.
