How could taking Aspirin every day benefit or harm my health?

For years, doctors have recommended taking Aspirin every day to help prevent heart attacks and stroke. Cardiologist Dr. Sonia Anand says that advice is still correct, but it only applies to certain patients. She cautions against taking too much Aspirin, because acetylsalicylic acid can increase the risk of bleeding in the stomach and brain.
