Good to know. Finally, some useful info!

Hm... I eat oranges and pineapple almost every day, and cook a lot with cilantro. Drink beer a couple of times a week. I also eat lots of broccoli, asparagus, drink coffee everyday and smoke one (two tops) cigs a day. Hm... *ponders*

Thanks for clarifying GSA... I can be dense sometimes.

I was told in 10th grade biology that it's genetic. your genes will actually determine whether or not asparagus will have that effect on your urine.

PJ I'm not sure what your definition of "Better" is, but that Cilantro taste goes right into the semen. And, odd as it seems, Spicy food can make it "hot" too.

Spoken from experience, yes. And as I said to the ex, "It's your choice-- all that Tabasco or me!"

Joe - entirely TOO MUCH information!

Joe, I am hoping when confronted with the choice, he put the Tabasco bottle down.

I however love things spicy.

OK Master, I gave you in the inside scoop (ha ha...pun intended) on this some time ago. Why have you not enlightened everyone on what you've learned from the good doctor, SamIAm?

Hmmm

Must be off eating asparagus somewhere.

Sam, I was getting some MAJOR voodoo and only now came down to earth. Sorta!

PalJoey, that is the sort of info for which 'pasting' and 'sending to everyone in my address book' was invented. Gracias, Danke Shön, L'Chaim and all that good stuff!

It's all about caring and sharing.

OK - since Dr SamIAm took the time and trouble to answer this post in private but the answer never got to the boards to enlighten the rest of you...here it is:

Asparagus smell is caused by a metabolite in your body called Methanethiol. Your kidneys dump it into your bladder when they are filtering and cleansing your system, and it comes out in your urine. Did you know that not everyone's urine smells when they eat asparagus? That is determined by how the metabolites in your body operate, and how much they are in balance and able to cleanse your body and send things into the kidneys for processing.

Methanethiol is composed mostly of sulfur (6 components) mixed with hydrogen and some carbon which also causes the smell in rotten eggs and cabbage)


OK? And while we are on the subject of PalJoey's post...I presume you have done the appropriate research on all of these Joey? I mean, good scientific research requires more than one sample under more than one type of condition...so...get to work, my man!

Just one more reason to detest asparagus........

"Can we also have a class on how blue raspberry slushies turn your poo green?"

Since the topic is already on bodily waste, I don't feel guilty posting this. I learned from changing a younger sibling's diapers that when a breastfeeding mother eats blueberries (a significant amount), her child will poop blue after feeding. Fascinating.

I checked this thread because I thought well there is no way it could still be on topic...no one can discuss asparagus pee for two pages...But you guys, you did it, I'm in awe

It also makes your # 2 green as well, for whatever it is worth

Only on BWW would we devote an entire thread on what makes bodily wastes change smell and color. I feel so enlightened now.

I can sleep easy tonight knowing this burning question has been answered

What next - Why is spinach green & why is Popeye in love with it?

Duuuhh!..Because it gives him super strength...The real question is why the hell is he in love with Olive Oil?
