Yes, amazing but true: aspirin has been proven in many studies to help prevent both heart attacks and strokes. Aspirin thins the blood a little in a way that decreases heart disease risk. Acetominophen and ibuprofen will not do the same thing. Aspirin should be a routine part of any effort to decrease the risk of developing heart disease, but talk with your doctor before starting it.
