↑ed Bleeding NotThin: Blood viscosity is primarily due to surface adhesiveness of red blood cells. Blood viscosity is ↓ed in anemia (RBCs farther apart), but this is not healthy. All the agents commonly referred to as "thinners" either ↓ blood clotting or stimulate blood clot destruction proteins. Thus all are anti-clotting agents, do not ↓ blood viscosity; are recommended to ↓ clots inside blood vessels, & ↑ bleeding.
