re: can aspirin be far behind?

Nottadoc2, I know you're just kidding here. Fortunately, the cardiovascular benefits of aspirin are well-established in large trials. Aspirin has probably prevented more heart attacks than any other single drug, due mainly to its ability to permanently disable platelets. The naproxen findings are preliminary and surprising. I think the media is getting a little carried away.

While the reporting and the political machinations surrounding the cardiovascular risks of various NSAIDS is giving off more heat than light, there may be one benefit. Hopefully, the heightened drug safety concerns will serve to moderate the attitude that decades of sedentary gluttony, consuming sugar-frosted trans-fat bombs can or should be counteracted with a pill, and maybe a healthy, moderate diet, vitamins and exercise is a better way to go.
