j0nes 0 #1 October 25, 2005 I've got some asparagus in my fridge that is going to go bad soon. So this morning at the gym, I thought about making an egg white omelete with onions and asparagus, maybe a little crushed garlic. I got home, ate some hard boiled eggs, got ready for work and then left. When I got to the office I decided to use the bathroom. I'm finished up peeing and thought "hmm... no asparagus smell. wait, I didn't EAT the asparagus" I'm slightly concerned. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Girlfalldown 0 #12 October 25, 2005 Quotemy question is, by smelling your pee how do you know you ate asparagus? Are you one of those funny people that can't smell asparagus pee? LUCKY! Taken from http://www.guardian.co.uk/food/story/0,16525,1576765,00.html Why does my wee smell when I've eaten asparagus? Karen Marriott, Edinburgh Friday September 23, 2005 The Guardian "Asparagus pee" has long been the subject of scientific debate. The problem is that if you ask people if their wee has an unpleasant, sulphurous smell after they've eaten asparagus, half say it does and half say it does not. Scientists used to believe that people digested asparagus differently and divided them into "excretors" and "non-excretors". We now know that it is not whether or not individuals excrete chemicals that makes the urine smell, but whether an individual can smell these chemicals. Scientists still argue whether or not all of us produce the chemicals that make the asparagus pee odour. Most people certainly produce them, but many can't smell them as they lack the necessary sensory cells in their noses. The most pungent compounds in asparagus pee are sulphur-containing molecules. How these are formed in the body is also a bit of a mystery. Only one sulphur-containing compound, asparagusic acid, is unique to asparagus. So it must be the way the body deals with this molecule that creates the odorous chemicals in urine. The concentration is greatest in young plants - which fits with the observation that asparagus pee is most pronounced when you eat young, white asparagus. So if your wee smells after you have eaten asparagus it is because your body deals with asparagusic acid in such a way that it produces smelly chemicals, and you have the ability to smell these. · Email questions to [email protected] · Peter Barham is a physicist at Bristol University.

Girlfalldown 0 #13 October 25, 2005 When we were teenagers and we'd have slumber parties my friends and I used to eat asparagas and make bets on how long it would take for our pee to stink.

I can be sure however, that this thread does not specifically apply to women, since both men and women get smelly pee from asparagus.
