It would be the opposite. Beets have vitamin K which helps thicken the blood. However one source here on the internet said beets don't have enough to make any effect on the blood/warfarin...however, beet GREENS have a lot more vitamin K and will throw off the effect of blood thinners.

If you're going to have surgery, eat vitamin K things. Or they will give it to you in an inter venous.

I am not a doctor. Just reporting what I've observed via my father's treatments.
