Why does asparagus make your urine stink?
It doesn't smell much when you eat it, but you certainly notice it when you take a waz. Why?

"Asparagus urine" is the result of a simple chemical reaction. Asparagus contains a sulfur compound called mercaptan. (It's also found in rotten eggs, onions and garlic.) When your digestive tract breaks down this substance, byproducts are released that cause the unusual scent. The process is so quick that your urine can develop the distinctive smell within 15 to 30 minutes of eating the vegetable. However, not everyone has the experience. Only some people appear to have the gene for the enzyme that breaks down mercaptan into its more pungent parts.
