Do you know that the use of aspirin and Ibuprofen is the 15th leading cause of death in the United States. More people die from these products than die from AIDS!

Is that for real? I thought the leading cause of death was hunger because of tax...lol...

I recall seeing a statistic about this a few years ago, but it wasn't just aspirin and Ibuprofen. It was non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, and it was a lot of them. If I remember right, it was only a few thousand, but it was a leading cause of death, perhaps it was 15th as mentioned above.
