how's come it don't matter what ever color you drink your pee will always be yellow, you could drink grape juice, red kool aid, etc, but it is still yellow when you pee.

It's water...with ammonia by products.
urea is an acidic base...it's yellow.
Drink enough water and your pee will be clear.
Drink a lot of sparkling water and your pee will fizzle.
Drink the strained (because theres glass) contents of a Cylume Light stick and your pee will be green and glow in the dark.

All colorants and anything else in the liquid that you drink is broken down through chemical processes. The body absorbs everything in the liquid that it can. The body then uses the healthy stuff such as vitamins and minerals and it sends all the bad stuff to be mixed with feces. So all the colour of whatever you drank is dumped when you take a dump. Oh and the yellowness of pee is from the chemicals that do the breaking down of the other stuff. You may also notice that the more water you drink, the lighter the yellow becomes. Its proof that water is good for you!

I checked online and found out that because urine is almost all water, it's the yellow color it is. However, it did say that it can be light blue or pink due to food coloring in food and drink. I've never experienced that phenomenon, however.

I watched an Oprah show once and she was talking about the color of her pee...she said she went to the potty and it was blood red, she thought she was dying...it was due to the fact that she was eating beets for like 3 days and it colored her pee blood red...just some FYI TIFF

i think because the pee is coming directly from the blood. processed by our kidneys. everything that we eat passes through the stomach and intestines, that's why we couldn't see the color with our pee. But sometimes, if you drink some vitamins or medicines, it affects our pee/ urine color.

I think Warrior had the best answer there. It is also amusing to note that if you eat asparagus, drink a large amount of coffee, or sometimes fruit juices that your urine will be scented of what you have consumed.

alcohol and stuff usually helps make it clear. lots of water makes it clear.
the more dehydrated you are the darker yellow it would be. so if your pee is really dark shade of yellow. you should go drink some water. but yeah probably urea makes it yellow. who knowss.

If you take a multivitamin that has lots of iron in it, that will also turn your urine yellow. You must be getting lot of iron, or not drinking enough each day.
Some antibiotics will do it also.

I believe the colorings (natural and artificial) come out with the "other" waste products.
