Why does eating asparagus make my pee smell funny for the next day? I can't seem to find an answer for this one, so I thought I'd ask you all for some entertainment.

I think it may be the iron in it but I am really not sure. My girls pee smells funny after Crystal Meth but that's kind of not related...

I think what you intake has something to do with what you give out. It must be the spices or something.Comment

I was just going to ask if you eat asparagus.

It's the result of a simple chemical reaction. Asparagus contains a sulfur compound called mercaptan. (It's also found in rotten eggs, onions, garlic, and in the secretions of skunks.) When your digestive tract breaks down this substance, by-products are released that cause the funny scent. The process is so quick that your urine can develop the distinctive smell within 15 to 30 minutes of eating asparagus.
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. While eating asparagus may make your urine smell strange, it won't harm you.Comment
