Ever noticed that after you've eaten asparagus, your pee smells like asparagus? Why is that? There doesn't seem to be anything else that has this effect on urine odor.

it's a sulfur compound that asparagus is particularly rich in, and it can affect other bodily fluids as well, if you understand me, somewhat like pineapple juice, only in reverse!

once you consume asparagus your pee usually smells like asparagus, no longer french toast. perchance the french toast you consume smells? for those that don't consume asparagus, you could no longer help yet scent your pee because's a sturdy scent.

There is a chemial in asparagus that is absorbed, then filtered out by the kidney. It is strange.
Beeturia is strange too.
Garlic can be excreted out through your pores.
If I cut onions, my hands smell like onions for days, and I am allergic to onions.
Some fruits can make your skin turn red.
And hot pepers can burn your eyes.

Yes it does make your pee smell. But try beets, they turn it red. The first time, I freaked out!!!
