Blood Draw During Fasting

Question
Does drawing blood from the body for medical tests invalidate fasting and break it?
Answer
I say, and with God's help: The invalidation of fasting comes from what enters, not from what exits. Blood withdrawal breaks the ablution but does not invalidate the fast, and God knows best.
