would eating too much garlic give you internal bleeding
It will give you a bloody nose if you are too close to me! lol!
Seriously though, those people who eat lots of garlic or eat those "odorless" garlic pills STINK! The skunk doesn't smell their own stink but garlic addicts need to know!
If somebody is "low risk" why would one want to put any drug in your body on a daily basis for prevention of that low risk event?
A new guideline from Heart and Stroke Foundation says a daily dose of Aspirin could do more harm than good for those at low risk of stroke or heart disease.

not sure why they would call it 'odorless garlic pills' if it makes you stinky, there should be a warning on bottle labels. i can understand using it as an alternative to aspirin for those with a heart condition, but to its effectiveness, let's ask this guy
I use to think that "healthy" elite athletes were at low risk of a heart incident and/or stroke. Yet, Steve Stamkos, Serena Williams, Chris Bosh, etc. have suffered blood clots. Hockey player Jay Bouwmeester and at least one or two other NHL players also suffered heart episodes. Don't know if they were considered high risk and/or on aspirin.

IMO, they give the best advice based on the knowledge that they have at hand. But, as with almost everything that is studied, there is always new data/information coming to light. Sometimes the new info compels them to change their recommendation. That's just what happens in science.
But back to my point, my impression is that doctors were not universally recommending aspirin for "low risk" patients. I highly doubt that whatever new studies there are, they will stop recommending aspirin for medium to high risk patients.
Nonetheless I keep a bottle of low dose aspirin in my office desk, in my car, and in my bedside table, cuz if I think my heart is attacking me I will instantly chew 2 of those pills in an attempt to dissolve any blood clot involved. Imho I believe this is still recommended.
When I was a golfer I kept a bottle in my golf bag as well.
Come to think of it, I should have kept a couple of pills in my pocket when hobbying, just in case...
Don't take aspirin period but I do cook with garlic. Imho if it don't stink it's crrraap!
You can alleviate the BO by following the unwritten rule.

I agree they try to tell us the best advice with the information they have at that particular time, that doesn't mean it's correct. At a point in time they told pregnant women it was ok to drink alcohol and smoke. If they don't have enough evidence to prove their theory they shouldn't say anything.
Agreed.
But they are the experts in the field, so what better source of reference do we have? It's playing the odds. Even a 20 point favourite isn't going to win every game straight up, but guaranteed that you will choose them ahead of a 1 point favourite in a survivor pool.
If you don't trust your doctor to give you to give the best advice they can, then why bother going to see him in the first place?
Probably a good idea just in case. A few years ago, I felt an awful constant pain in one of my thighs. Called 911. They took me to emergency. Got an ultrasound to test for a blood clot (no clot). The doctor thinks I somehow irritated a nerve in my leg.
