The asparagusic acid in asparagus produces many sulfurous byproducts that give your pee a rotten-like smell. The smell can be detected as early as 15 minutes after eating asparagus and may last up.Overall, scientists now conclude that most of the difference is in perception—that is, if your urine doesn’t seem to smell any differently after you eat asparagus, it’s likely that you simply.
Depending on which study you read, between 22% and 50% of the population report having pungent pee after eating asparagus. But that doesn’t mean only some people’s bodies generate that smell.The asparagus smell is thought to result from the metabolism of asparagusic acid, found in asparagus, into other sulfur-containing compounds, such as methanethiol, the most prominent odorant.Asparagus: Health Benefits, Risks (Stinky Pee) & Nutrition Facts Posted on April 26, 2020 Author wildlikeclick Comment(0) In ancient times, asparagus was renowned as an aphrodisiac, and maybe for good reason.
Some foods that make your pee smell are totally healthy. The odor has to do with how the body breaks it down. According to a 2010 study, the reason asparagus makes your pee smell.And they didn’t just find one gene variant, but hundreds of them across multiple genes.
What the study doesn’t address is why asparagus, of all foods, makes our urine stink, and why our bodies have obviously put so much effort into being able to detect metabolized asparagus in pee.According to a 2010 study, the reason asparagus makes your pee smell is that it acts as a natural diuretic due to the high levels of asparagine, getting rid of any extra salt and fluids in the body.If urine becomes highly concentrated — a high level of waste products with little water — your urine may have a strong ammonia odor. Some foods and medications, such as asparagus or certain vitamins, can cause a noticeable urine odor, even in low concentrations. Sometimes, unusual urine odor indicates a medical condition or disease, such a.
Asparagus and urine odor One food that many people say makes their urine smell strong is asparagus. The culprit of urine odor from asparagus is caused by the level of naturally occurring sulfurous.Some people can smell the characteristic odor that asparagus gives to their urine, while others cannot. Now, a study reveals more than 800 new.
The culprit of the funky smelling urine appears to be asparagusic acid, a compound high in sulfur and abundant in asparagus. When your body digests asparagus and breaks down asparagusic acid, it releases volatile components that are responsible for the foul smell of asparagus urine. This smell can develop within 15-30 minutes of eating asparagus.
Asparagus is notorious for making urine smell, um, different—but not everyone who eats the vegetable notices it. According to a new study in BMJ, the pee these people produce after an asparagus-heavy dinner—usually described as a sulphoric smell—may be just as stinky, but they may lack the genes able to smell it.. The culprit is a particular sulfur compound found only in asparagus.Everyone’s pee smells like asparagus after they digest it.
Deny this all you like, but those green stalks contain something called asparagusic acid, among a couple other compounds, that gives urine that unique odor. As your body digests food, it breaks down different compounds through the enzymatic process.After eating asparagus, some people can detect a strange smell, while others claim not to notice a thing.
So, we still can’t answer a simple question like why asparagus makes our urine smell.

How many people are watching this right after experiencing it first hand?�� That’s why I searched for this.��
Imagine being a chick and getting a bigo asparagus nut busted on ur face��
here is a question for you. Why does it stink more when you fart in the shower?????
I always thought it was fuckin up your liver with a smell like that.
why did you say the f word:( I thought you family friendly:(
“Can you eat this asparagus and pee in this cup”
������������������������
https://www.youtube.com/edit?video_id=IvXUtu1tpAI&video_referrer=watch my video about the same thing
Studies show that some people don’t produce stinky pee, and others can’t smell the stink even it it’s there. I don’t know which I am, but I never smelled anyone else’s urine after they ate asparagus.
DIMETHYL SULFIDE AND DIMETHYL SULFONE WERE BOTH COMPONENTS OF THE GLORIA RAMIREZ DEATH THAT BUZZFEED UNSOLVED DID A VIDEO ON AND SHANE WAS OVER THERE ACTING LIKE THESE COMPOUNDS WERE NEWS TO HIM
Vegetables try to keep themselves from being eaten, and stink is an effect it has in humans.
My pee smells really strong after eating Sugar Crisp cereal.
Room temperature is not a fucking temperature. Rooms could be various temperatures, like cold, warm, even fucking boiling hot.
Actually, I recently learned that only about 10% of the population can smell asparagus pee (had a stats hw question on it), which was interesting because I’ve always been able to. So don’t worry if you can’t!
Welcome to all hot water in Iceland. The water that comes out of the taps in Iceland is heated with volcanic energy. I hope eventually the residents stop smelling it eventually, but whenever I vacation there my showers are eeeeeeextra quick with strong smelling products.
awe man, I thought they were going to bring it to a lab or something lol wa wa waaaaaaaaaa lol
the smell isnt awful, just weird. smells like burnt rubber to be.
I never had asparagus in my life, and I never ever will! you’ll never get me to eat it mom!��
this reminds me of the slit experiment where there’s 2 answers lol
Recent study shows that those people who said their pee doesn’t have that post-asparagus smell can’t smell it, not that their pee doesn’t smell of it. Interesting, huh?
Excellent Video! Sorry for the intrusion, I would appreciate your opinion. Have you researched Fanabraal Toned Tiraspol (google it)? It is a smashing one of a kind product for sliming down naturally without exercise without the headache. Ive heard some pretty good things about it and my friend at last got excellent success with it.
yeah its fucking gross.. I thought I had an infection or something.. turns out I was eating it. and so I searched it up and it did say it makes it stink lol
It’s ironic that they out this video on the buzzfeedblue even though pee is usually yellow �� they could gave out it on buzzfeed yellow
The sulfur smell comes from asparagusic acid which breaks down in your stomach into different forms of sulfur. Giving it its unique odor. I wouldn’t be surprised if asparagus does cleanse the kidneys, but I’m not sure this is why your urine stinks.
I have never eaten asparagus in my entire life, never will like it, probably.
If anyone wants a better scientific explanation, scishow did an episode on this months ago
Sulfur itself as an element does not smell at all. It is most sulfur-CONTAINING compounds that stink so bad.
Yeah Science is great and that.Did you see Brandon’s eyes? OMG¡¡¡
Did anyone else think of that woman on My Strange Addiction who stopped eating asparagus because it made her pee taste bad.
I absolutely love asparagus. Unfortunately, it doesn’t like me. Asparagus pee… I can smell it. �� Haha!
Shane ist so ein bißchen der Ralph Caspers von Buzzfeed, oder?!
plz like this comment it would really make my day because I just missed the bus and my parents are NOT happy
Apparently vegetarians fart more than people who eat meat so I guess its the same thing.
When he started talking about smelly pee, I smelled something horrible and then I realized….
My dog just farted
Guys! I’m going for 1,000 subs with no videos! Please help me reach my goal!
why is there so many buzz feed channels like yellow,violet and video?
You think asparagus is bad? Google “petai” and try them out 😉
I definitely have the “asparagus pee” after eating asparagus. Which means I both produce it and can smell it. Does that make me special? I wonder if canned asparagus does the same thing?.. experiment time!
Think positive. It means that when you eat healthy, all the toxines come out of your body. But if you eat bad, they just get stucked and cant come out.
jajajaja loved the way you explain things!!!!.. interesting and funny.. fun way to learn new stuff!
EAT ASPARAGUS THEN PEE AROUND YOUR HOUSE TO KEEP ZOMBIES AWAY.
Great video content! Apologies for chiming in, I would love your opinion. Have you heard the talk about Fanabraal Toned Tiraspol (do a google search)? It is a great one off product for sliming down naturally without exercise minus the normal expense. Ive heard some amazing things about it and my close friend Aubrey after a lifetime of fighting got cool success with it.
not everyone has smelly pee when you eat asparagus though. even they said its only some 20-50%… so what is happening with the rest? they can’t smell sulphur or they don’t produce the sulphur. that’s a better experiment
Nice Video clip! Forgive me for chiming in, I would love your opinion. Have you heard the talk about Fanabraal Toned Tiraspol (Sure I saw it on Google)? It is an awesome exclusive guide for sliming down naturally without exercise without the headache. Ive heard some great things about it and my friend at last got astronomical results with it.
I just started eating green asparagus yesterday.. and wheni peed i thought our toilette is broken bcoz its smelled weird… and then i eat asparagus today and d toilette had this weird smell again.. i collected my urine and smelled it.. so it was my urine..i get panicked and thought i already have cancer.. and then i research bcoz its only happen to me after eating asparagus…so its bcoz of sheize spargel..
We’ve had Asparagus for lunch. By the evening not only the pee but the skin got that stink. I began to doubt whether this product is worth all the moral torment.
What a stupid useless video. Your voice and high speed yaking gave me a headache. Sorry I clicked on it.
I am proud to be both an excreter of the stink & a smeller of the stink yay!
I must be a super excretor and a super smeller. I almost knock myself out every time I pee for almost a day after eating asparagus. It’s so bad that I’m always afraid it will trigger my gas detector. If I don’t turn on the extractor fan before peeing, and flush immediately after, my entire house will reek of it and I’ll have to open up windows and doors.
shane looks like that professor that just had kids and shows off the baby pictures in order to waste half of the class
Who was able to detect scientist, who had to go through all those sniffings!
I heard, that “non-excretors” have special enzyme that breaks down the methanethiol
What I want to know is why it happens so fast,I’m not even finished eating and I went to relieve my self and it already smells!
It’s just funny. I was wanting to see why it did so bad and then I was like ya know what I’ll look it up on YouTube and in the back of my mind I was like “watch, that one science channel with that one science guy had probably made a video about it… sure enough here I am. ������������
I like how they put on the List death life universe and cat? Hahah lol
Just ate some asparagus last night… & my urine doesn’t stink… it actually smells like perfume ��… seriously…it has a potpourri smell to it.
That’s why I came looking cause I thought it was suppose to stink?? I do eat alot of vegetables, apples & pineapples…I don’t smoke, eat chocolate or drink coffee… so does anyone know if that’s the caused??
I love how concise these videos are, short and to the point, excellent job y’all
Found out today i both excrete and can smell it. god awful
Someone else please take this super power i dont want XD
I love asperagus and can smell it the very next time I pee ��
For the people that don’t excrete it, wouldn’t that simply (and obviously) mean they don’t produce it? That they digest asparagus differently?
It’s amazing how quickly the asparagus affects your urine. It takes like only an hour or two.
I can’t smell it or I can’t make the smell, what about you active beat?
Yesterday was my first time eating asparagus and my pee smell was awful..I googled foul urine odor and asparagus popped up.I didn’t know things like this happen…Good to know I thought something was wrong with me��
My father can’t smell the asparagus chemicals in his urine but my mom and I can. Weird, huh?
you said some people can’t smell the meat?!! How is that possible?! Meat is so stincky and smelly!
Aw, have Hank pronounce “methanethiol” again, and again and again!..:D
I guess i excrete that acid cause i can smell it 10 minutes after
Never mind about the asparagus pee. What I want to know is what is the science behind why your own farts smell better than other people’s farts.
I don’t know if I’m a non-smeller or a non-excreeter, or both. I have never tried smelling anyone else’s urine. My mom says hers never smelled different.
Cilantro tastes odd to some people, including me. Some hate it and some are ok with it. It is genetic thing where you have an olfactory ability to smell a chemical in cilantro, which also exists in soaps. It makes cilantro taste like soap to them. I researched it. If it is crushed the smell disipates. There is a cilantro and lime pesto you can make and I’m gonna try it soon.
I wonder if the cilantro and asparagus differences tend to appear together in some people.
I wonder if any of these geniuses have looked into if i matters are not how it is prepared, because everyone’s body is different. I can eat a sliced tomato just fine for instance with no problems, but fry it and give it to me in a Fajita meal and it acts up my acid reflex as the composition has changed. There is more work they need to do, they have solved little.
OMEGA 3 PILLS MAKE YOUR URINE SMELL LIKE ANCHOVIES. YES I KNOW THE PILLS COME FROM FISH OILS, BUT DAMN!!
Each year we grow a big garden and we grow purple asparagus. I love the taste and so does my wife. Only problem other than the pee smell our asparagus never makes it to the table. When we work the garden asparagus is our snack. It always gets eaten up before we can get it to the kitchen. Yum Yum
I had asparagus this morning and went to hot yoga this evening. My sweat is totally smelly. I hope the instructor had that specific anosmia to not smell it.
You know that creepy pretzel lady—the one with the bad brunette wig who says, “Prezels, baby!”? Because of her, I’m scared to death of pretzels! Now, I’m kinda creeped out about asparagus.
And I guess, I’ve never really checked this anywhere but it stands to reason, that skunks can’t smell the… Well, the horrifyingly bad parts of their spray.
Which is interesting since they basically have that method of defense because so many other animals are SUPER sensitive to those exact compounds, mostly since they are normally given off by really, REALLY rotten food, which we are sort of hardwired to avoid.
So if skunks can’t smell rotten meat and/or eggs, does that mean they’re perfectly fine with eating it too?
New topic of study: The immune system of skunks!
How bad must you life suck to become a professional pee sniffer?
PSA: Urine is not the only fluid coming out of that hole that will smell awkward after eating asparagus or onion.
heck no!, YUCK����to the last question he ask. pee smellers must get paid a LOT!
For so long I thought vanilla was scent less, this makes me sad now knowing it isn’t.
When it comes to some possible studies, sometimes you just have to say no to knowledge and suck it up. Or not.
SO, you are a non-smeller, but you are a super taster.
IS THERE A LINK?
Do you struggle to smell things in general?
I drink my pee
And asparagus pee
Tastes gross
Since I had it today
Do the non excreters have a different rate of occurrence of kidney diseases?
