I don't agree that is clear from the report. It would take an 
examination of the full paper to find out for sure. In any case the 
result is contrary to the large study which I quoted.

Furthermore, 300 grams per year is an very large dosage (roughly 3 full 
size aspirin every day) which is generally only taken by unhealthy 
people. So again this says little relevant to the use of 1/4 to 1/2 
aspirin daily as preventative therapy for healthy people.
