NSAIDs May Increase Risk of Kidney Cancer
NSAIDs aren't only bad for your circulatory system. A new study shows they might also cause cancer!
In a scientific paper presented at a meeting of the American Association for Cancer Research, researchers from Harvard Medical School analyzed 18 studies on the use of high-dose acetaminophen, high-dose aspirin, and non-aspirin NSAIDs for pain relief.
They found that acetaminophen use was linked to an 86% higher risk of kidney cancer, aspirin use to a 22% higher risk, and non-aspirin NSAIDs to a 56% higher risk.
There are about 60,000 new cases of kidney cancer in the U.S. each year. You have to wonder how many there would be if fewer people relied on NSAIDs, and used natural remedies for pain relief instead. My guess is a lot less!
