Asparagus contains a sulfur compound referred to as mercaptan. it is likewise recent in onions, garlic, rotten eggs, and in the secretions of skunks. The signature scent happens whilst this substance is broken down on your digestive equipment. no longer anybody have the gene for the enzyme that breaks down mercaptan, so a number of human beings can consume each and all the asparagus they like without stinking up the region.

It certainly does make your urine take on a distinct odor. As a matter of fact, it smells a lot like asparagus and it's good for you, so don't avoid it for this reason. It's only a temporary issue.
