Aspirin has been hailed as a “miracle medicine” for decades. As a pain
reliever, it’s easy to see why. It reduces body temperature. Therefore, it
can be used to treat fever. Stroke and heart attack risk is reduced, and
the risk of some cancers is lowered among those at high risk for these
conditions. It doesn’t cost much, can be made quickly, and is readily
available without a prescription.

Aspirin has also been associated in recent years with improved bone health
and a reduced incidence of bone fractures following falls (which can have
devastating consequences, especially among older adults). A new study has
recently investigated the possibility of improved bone health.
