Why Does Asparagus Make Your Pee Stink?
Video taken from the channel: BuzzFeed Multiplayer
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!, YUCKto 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?
GO EAT GRILLED BACON WRAPPED ASPARAGUS! just do it. and if you dont…
CRAFT!
I wonder if “non-excretors” just poop it out instead. like the comment on “Asparagas” flatulence
I have delightfully nasty asparagus pee. Plus, sometimes, what I call “asparagas.”
question should be, did everyone in the test have the same diet? Maybe Asparagus+ raw veggie diet= no smell.. or asparagus with pork vs. beef vs. 2000 other foods might have an impact. Idk, waste of tax money at any rate. Who sniffs their piss enough for it to be a huge factor
When ever I know I have drug tests, I eat an assload of asperagus to make my pee smell really bad, to punish the poor sucka who tests my pee.
We need to analyze the shit from those whose pee did not smell bad (by those who can really smell it)
I’ve been trying to convince my mom forever that asparagus makes your pee smell weird and she’d never believe me but NOW I HAVE PROOF. And on a side note, I can’t smell cat pee o.O
Yep I smell it, my Lab loves going asparagus hunting with me and Loves to eat it. ❤
1:51
115 people were experimented on.
Element 115.
Illuminati confirmed.
Yes, asparagus actually makes my urine smell good to me. In fact, I would eat it to produce that effect even if I didn’t like asparagus so much. I happened to be in the bathroom when my hubby went after eating it, and his smelled good, too, though he himself dislikes the smell. I didn’t see any other comments from those who like the smell, but I know I’m not alone. Am I?:/
I put a whole bushel of asparagus into my toilet and it did not turn it into any form of perfume.
Your facial reactions in this video, Hank..
Tis golden, and hilarious. ^^
Makes it alot more fun to watch a video about.. Asparagus Pee!
One:my pee do dosint smell like perfume but its not bad
Two:im pretty sure the. Chamber pot guy had a pee fetish
This makes me think that someday someone will develop pills that cover your excretion’s foul smell with a selection of pleasant smells… could call them Pootpourri Pills
I honestly have no idea if I am a producer or smeller. I know for a fact my mother talked about this once (because geek family, yay) and she most definitely is a person who can smell it and produce it. She also confirmed that my father doesn’t produce the smell and he also cannot smell it.
I find this fascinating, since my parents both seem to be the polar opposites in this gene mutation, perhaps I cannot smell it but do produce it. I will have to find out at some point. Unfortunately for me, I actually dislike asparagus so I never eat it.
So to conduct the experiment…I’d have to confront eating something I don’t like the taste of.:(…… FOR SCIENCE!
Was it really necessary to show a politically questionable map of Israel? Without spinning off into the point, he could have said “Israel”, or even better, just the name of the specific institution, without opening up the can of worms inherent in choosing a map of the area?
asparagus doesn’t make my pee smell rancid, it makes it smell like asparagus. not drinking enough water makes it smell rancid.
wait… Marcel Proust the philosopher????
I WILL BE THE SCIENTIST WHO DINS OUT WHERE THE CHEMICALS GO FOR NON EXCREETERS! JUST YOU WAIT!
3:42 lol….Where do the compounds that aren’t excreted go?
I can’t… every time she said “stinky pee” I cracked up a little lol
Wait a second… so people that cannot smell asparagus pee have a ‘mutated’ gene related to one of their scent receptors… so does that scent receptor pick up something different? Can they smell something which ‘smellers’ can not?
I eat a lot of asparagus, and within a matter of minutes, asparagus pee. Lol.
Hank is just amazing haha, thanks SciShow for explaining asparagus pee!
I’m a non-excreter and a non-smeller. For a long time when I was a kid I had no idea what people were talking about when someone said they had asparagus pee. But I just brushed it off until this video.
I never tried asparagus. They are so expensive here in Brazil.
Can you imagine being on the team that had to smell that many containers of urine? eww………….
I can’t smell apples… About asparagus, even though I do eat it, never thought about whether my urine smells…
Cheers for the video content! Excuse me for butting in, I would appreciate your thoughts. Have you tried Fanabraal Toned Tiraspol (probably on Google)? It is a good exclusive guide for sliming down naturally without exercise without the hard work. Ive heard some extraordinary things about it and my cousin at very last got great results with it.
I ate asparagus last night and I’ve been pissing all night. The smell is so bad that the walls are starting to stain greenish brown and I’m scared the neighbors will think there is a gas odor. Help I don’t want to go to jail… I don’t wan to! I don’t want to! Please help me!!!!!!! Fuck!
Yes, I was worried at first. Then I realized that I had been eating asparagus 3 tines a week.
Yes i just started eating asparagus then evening before i go to bed to sleep When I pee i noticed a very smelly sulfuric odor on my pee.but first I thought it was just an odor from the trash bin. But i realized that everytime i pee is the only time i can smell it. That’s the time i suspected the Asparagus lol
Consider it a gift if you can produce and smell it. Apparently its only the 22% of the population. Wiki snippit below… If i had mutant powers, I’d be Asaparagus pee man!
“It is believed most people produce the odorous compounds after eating asparagus, but only about 22% of the population have the autosomal genes required to smell them”
Davidanddavid watched the video by the Dr. Weirdly enough… his comment was EXACTLY what the Dr. Said. I’m a stinker
It does make urine smell, but forget that…it’s healthy for you!
EAT UP
Its the trait of being able to smell it, not the ability to break the compound down. Its been tested and everyone excretes the same compounds that give off the smell, but only certain (unlucky) people can actually smell it.
I just recently started eating asparagus and yes I smelt a difference in my urine! Weird
Yes fresh asparagus does make my pee smell… but not a big deal just flush it down.. not that you have to really take the time to stick around for the unpleasant odor.. I would be curious to know why the sulfur does it I wonder if it is the only veggie that has high concentration of sulfur?
I wanted to find and watch this video again but was too embarrassed to search “asparagus pee”
I today thought “wow that’s a weird smell” and then I thought back to this video and thought “OHHHHHH”
So thanks guys for explaining a thing, that would only happen to me 3 years later.
maybe bacteria in people’s bodies break down the thing but some miss it so some people don’t make smelly pee
too bad this didn’t land on april fools day. i guess you just couldn’t hold it.
I describe it as Rocket Fuel Piss! It can start to smell in under 15 minutes after eating it for me. Love it though, cooked on the grill in foil with butter, or pickled is outstanding too!
oh fuck really, it makes the pee smell, if people cant say why then they just should say they dont know.
She should have said at the end, “it’s for science! Take a whiff!
0:34 CGP Grey would have a lot more politics on that list actually
That’s pretty hard to believe that some people can’t smell that sparagus stank
I only like canned asparagus it tastes better for me lol just a little fact about me
I thought asparagus pee happened to everyone until I jokingly brought it up with a friend and they stared at me like I was from outer space and had no clue what I was talking about. Lol!
I can digest it and I can smell it but I have asparagus pee every time I eat it
I hadn’t noticed the smell until recently watching this video; apparently there should be one more variable to control in the experiment.
Why on like almost every buzzfeed vid, no matter what the topic is the comment section is filled with girls talking about how hot the employees at buzzfeed are? ESPECIALLY EUGENE
I can see why the channel is called minute earth the videos are only 1-2 minutes
We had a big asparagus patch when I grew up, and I never noticed a difference in my pee. Neither does my mother smell a difference in hers. We haven’t smelled each other’s (ick). Never heard my brother of father mention it. If it’s genetic, maybe none of us smell and/or produce.
I dont smell any asparagous smelly thingies when I pee. Even when I eat alot of em:/
i have never heard of this until now i never eaten asparagus!
I’m the genetic mutation. While one of my twin girls CAN smell and pee the acid..The other cannot.
like you can do anything you want in the world and then just say “it`s for science people!”
I have smelt this before and also in a similar fashion my wizz smelled like the pills I take for allergies. It’s the damnedest thing.
I have the same thing only with tuna. My pee starts smelling like tuna when I eat some tuna, on rare occasions it will smell like tuna even if I didn’t eat any that day or the day before. Does anyone have that too?
how about those who taste dish soap when eating salsa containing cilantro? always thought as a kid that the kitchen needed to spend more time rinsing dishes once washed.
adrafinil makes you’re pee smell weird I think for a similar reason. Everyone should try adrafinil it’s awesome.
I tried this and it didn’t work. Waste of asparagus, that shit’s expensive and my pee smelled as bad as always.
I can smell it quite well and have been smelling it for YEARS! I used to think that something was wrong with my body’s ability to process asparagus (like the way some people reek for hours & hours after eating garlic)! Glad to know that Im actually quite normal lol!
Why are people researching asparagus pee instead of other things?
I had this type of talking, non stop and agitating, maybe neurotic..
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
This is too funny, as I just ate Asparagus, roasted with olive oil & garlic! Gosh, I have a lot to look forward to….lol.
someone teach that guy how to use a knife to cut his asparagus.
I grow it (so easy), I can eat it (LOVE it), and I can smell it.
I was told that eating asparagus,draws out toxins from the body? Is this true? I also love the smell of my Asparagus piss. Try eating Sugar puff cereal: This has the same affect
I’m with you. That smell could peel paint off my car. Is there anything you can eat with asparagus to combat the smell? I find dark chocolate gets rid of garlic breath.
Tbh I actually can smell anything after I eat asparagus (when I go to the bathroom) at first I was like yessss no smell then 5 secs later I was like I might have a mutation
I certainly have Asparagus pee and can smell it. I have liked asparagus since the first time I tried it back when I was about 20 years old or so.
It was actually years before I made the connection between my smelly pee and eating asparagus earlier. It used to freak me out a bit. Duh…
Oh yeah asparagus pee for me. Just one stick of it and my urine stinks to high heaven.
Well it could also depend on how the Asparagus is grown (eg Synthetic fertilizers, etc). When I have UK grown Asparagus I get the smell and think of it as a good thing. But lately, with early season Italian and Spanish Asparagus no smell (maybe = not much goodness either)
I wonder if I just can’t smell it or I just can’t digest it!!!!!! Whattttt
I don’t remember if i smell it or not because I rarely eat Asparagus. But since we are speaking about pee, I ate a ton of pancakes the other day and my pee smelled like PANCAKES.
Is it because pancake acid?
I always eat asparagus before I play a gig. I just love going on break and stinking up the urinal right before our bass player goes in.
maybe we who don’t produce the smelly stuff in our urine fart it out instead, tell your interns to test my farts.
There is no any scientific explanation waste of time.dont watch
Seriously smelly. The first time my wife and I experienced this phenomenon years ago, I actually called city works and asked if something was backflowing in my toilet!
I’m DAMNED PROUD to have Asparagus PEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
No asparagus pee but some beer pee YES, but only very hoppy ones IPAs my next to kin bring on the smell hops
I love the aroma. Asparagus owe me that smell. Confirms healthy digestion for me..
Omg like this answers my long term battle on my unknown health status..like once in awhile I smell that sulfuric smell to my urine and in my mind I thought I have this bad UTI every time.. now that I think about it it’s actually from the asparagus. I actually just ate it the other day this is bcoz it’s my favorite veggie and yesterday I smell that sulfuric smell again. Here I am thinking it’s bcoz I’m not drinking enough water again..thanks for enlightening me
Wow! This is to funny. I process both… digestive & smell, Lol
Interestingly enough I have only heard Lesbians speak of this about not eating it for dinner before going out for the evening dancing and drinking. I have never heard of a guy speaking of this unless he likes to go down on his wife the morning after a great dinner the night before where Asparagus was served.
I never know about asparagus pee before, interesting. But which one makes ur pee stinkier, asparagus or petai or jengkol?
I’ve never actually noticed…but then again, I do drink a lot of Vodka too…lol.
I love the smell, everytime I eat asparagus I save my pee and then I use it as cologne
Nobody talking about Beet Pee? If you make beet juice before your doctors appointment, you’ll get a kick out of the nurses look on their face after a pee test.. Good times!
I have a dna test that tell me that I likely can smell asparagus pee, but I have never really felt like my pee smelled after eating them, so maybe I’m one of those who cant digest the acid 😉
now i should warn jesse and jeana to dont feed nylah some asparagus unless they want the stench
my pee does not smell. at least i can’t smell it, so hope my nose is working
I love asparagus and I happen to really enjoy the smell of my asparagus pee!
I had to take a random drug test after I ate asparagus. The chick almost gagged.
Ive never had trouble digesting. I can smell it very strong shortly after. I actually googled, “why does my pee smell like grape juice”. That was the way i first found out.
I definitely get the welcome asparagus smell. I think it is a good
sign of receiving nutrients. As well as flushing out my bladder!
THE MAP OF ISRAEL IS WRONG!! Seriously, there must be be shown Palesina. Israel attacked Palestina and took the teretory ILEGAL just by killing the poor Palestina people:( SchiShow please make the map right by showing the Palestina in the right area. israels area must be shown as alot less.
I both excrete the asparagus compounds and can smell them.
However, I also am allergic to the damn stuff to the extent that I will vomit if I eat more than a single spear.
Needless to say, I avoid asparagus.
I really really like asparagus but i dislike going pee. Haha!
ever heard of JENGKOL? kind of giant dark yellow Indonesian Peas. just eat one enough to make you close your nose every time you go to bathroom…for a week.
Picked up 10 pounds of asparagus at a local church thursday, I had the asparagus pee smell!! And wow thanks GOD, asparagus is so delicious!!!
I’ll have to wait for spring for fresh produce. It sure sucks living in Canada for produce!
Musky Deers and Does love to it sprouts…evergreen sprouts are also rich in that asparagus like asp-acidiscent…that boils down to deer musk….sprouts do have magic aromas in them…the truffles are the top notch underground sprout ever…correct me if im wrong…teach..;-)
But i a unique way its more of a musky aroma…thats also how deers produce their musk…its part of sexual attraction in the animal kingdom…the muskier the sexually healthy and active mammals are…BTW you look sexier with that bump you have here…Simply Lovely Jolly!
Chives does the same thing,cuz I went to a Buddhist Chinese school and they are all vegans and they say avoid foods that can make your funky such as garlic and s.They tell u to avoid eating chives,cuz it makes ur urine smell after you pee.That happened to me once after I ate Chinese steamed buns with chive fillings,and when I went to use the during break time,the person in the next stall smelled a funky odor and asked me what I had for lunch ,and I said chive buns,and she said no wonder it smells funky and the lesson that I learned was don’t eat anything with chives before u come to temple and garlic. It’s considered rude to talk with garlic breath during a presentation or meditation,cuz they’ll either tell u to sit in the corner or go brush ur teeth before entering the meditation room.Some will suggest a breath freshener. I use to watch a lot of Buddhist programs on and I learned something new whenever I watch it.
I smell it, and it smells like evidence of healthy eating!:D Lovely episode!
