Beetroot is high in oxalates, which can contribute to the formation of kidney stones, particularly in people who are prone to calcium oxalate stones.
Beetroot can lower blood pressure, so if you already have low blood pressure (hypotension) or are on medications to lower it, eating beetroot may drop it further, leading to dizziness or fainting.
While beetroot has many health benefits, it is relatively high in natural sugars. People with diabetes should monitor their blood sugar levels after eating beetroot and consume it in moderation.
Beets are rich in vitamin K, which can interfere with blood-thinning medications like warfarin, so those on such medication should be cautious.
