Why does my pee smell after i eat asparagus?!


Question: Why does my pee smell after i eat asparagus.?
Answers:
Asparagus contains a sulfur compound called mercaptan. It is also found in onions, garlic, rotten eggs, and in the secretions of skunks. The signature smell occurs when this substance is broken down in your digestive system. Not all people have the gene for the enzyme that breaks down mercaptan, so some of you can eat all the asparagus you want without stinking up the place.Health Question & Answer

Your kidneys filter your blood and produce urine.
If you have eaten certain foods you will notice that sometimes your urine has a strange smell and other times it is a different colour, like red when you eat beetroot.
It isn't anything to worry about it is just the smell created by the food you have eaten.
