Do certain food effects urine odor??

[Uthinkso]

Ok strange topic I know, but hey I've posted some silly shit and have fat pictures of myself in my gallery so my pride was shelfed long ago.

I've noticed when I eat asparagus. The next day my urine smells awful. Not that urine ever smells good I suppose, but generally you don't smell it at all.

Reasoning for this??

That was an interesting answer.




Interesting, is there a way to make your pee smell better?

But not everyone has this experience. Your genetic makeup may determine whether your urine has the odor -- or whether you can actually smell it. Only some people appear to have the gene for the enzyme that breaks down mercaptan into its more pungent parts. A study published in the May 1989 British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology found that 46% of 115 people tested produced the odor in one group of British citizens, while 100% of 103 people produced it in a group of French citizens. The ability to smell the by-products may also be genetic. Another study published in the same journal found that 10% of a group of 300 Israeli Jews could not detect the odor. In other words, a person's urine could smell, but he or she might not know it. Judging from your question, you can do both. But that's nothing to worry about.

My pee smells from asparagus too. I was worried I had some kind of problem with my kidneys at first! Anyways, the smell lessens when you are properly hydrated

It's the methionine in asparagus that makes your urine smell and it's the riboflavin in your foods that makes your urine neon yellow.
