Why does my pee smell funny after eating asparagus?!


Question:

Why does my pee smell funny after eating asparagus?


Answers:
It's a genetic thing. Some people lack an enzyme to break down a substance in asparagus. It's a dominant trait, so you can ask around at the next family reunion, if you've got that kind of family. But, no worries, it has no effect whatsoever and is not a symptom of anything.

asparagus is loaded with iron, excess is in your urine. it can also make you constipated. green veggies (except lettuce) and cereals with oats are higher in iron. very healthy, good for your blood. that why parents push the greens.

why are you sniffing your pee?....most food veggies change the smell and appearance of your bodily fluids

when was da last time u had a shower and r u sure its ur pee dat smells
