Do beets act as blood thinners?
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.

Can you drink v8 juice while taking warfarin?
The concern when taking warfarin (coumadin) is the amount of vitamin K ingested. Vitamin K can reduce the anti-clotting action. Generally, the highest amounts of vitamin K are found in green leafy vegetables. There is a moderate amount in V8, and even less in tomato juice. An occasional small glass of V8 is probably not harmful, but sticking to regular tomato juice in reasonable quantities is even safer. See the Related Links below the ads.
