The two items you mention are among the most comprehensively studied in medical research. There is enough evidence to conclude:

1. Aspirin can cause intestinal bleeding in some people, but this is quite rare in doses for a heart regime (81 mg). Tens of millions of people are taking this amount of aspirin daily with no negative effects.

2. Statins are one of the most commonly prescribed medications. In over 30 years of research reports, no large-scale study indicated any vegetable, consumed in normal amounts, has caused a significant problem for people taking statins.
