Having lived in tropical climates for most of my life, I can tell you that physiologically, it's just not true. It is a saying that is widely repeated (akin to an old wive's tale), but I believe it is used more as an explanation of the phenomenon of acclimating to warmer temperatures. If your blood is actually thinning, you are probably a hemopheliac.
