Default green and white teas and blood thinners

Dr Weill have some great things to say sometimes

May be he forgot to mention some of the green tea side effects, or tea
in general.

Here is a comprehensive list of them.

And if you are worried about medical interaction, here is another
article.

Generally it is advisable to avoid drinking tea 2 hours after taking
medication.

The reality is quite complex.

I am not a doctor, of course.

While vitamin K has been shown to interact with courmadin in one human
case, there is also studies that show that green tea has other blood
thinning effects.

Such contradictions arise in many other diseases (heart problems,
blood pressure), simply because tea contains so many different
compounds (caffeine etc), and they act differently to the same
disease.

I don't think it is something to be alarmed of, but definitely
something to be aware and mindful of.

Happy drinking.
