The reason why some people can smell asparagus in their urine after they've eaten it and others can't has been discovered... A group of US scientists from a range of universities conducted research on 6,909 men and women of European-American descent...
Lead researcher Professor Lorelei Mucci, from Harvard University, said the findings could be due to 'modest women'. She said they may be loathed to admit they can smell the distinctive odour in their urine.

No, because I never eat the mushy Martian vegetable.
Only after I eat asparagus.
Yes all the time.....it’s nasty...
As long as it isn't ON your jeans.
My urine smells like rose petals and can cure cancer. Or is that Chuck Norris?
Asparagus are disgusting.
You can smell the sulphur or left over ammonia from certain foods, yes.
My yDNA is R1b and my mtDNA is 'V' haplogroup.
Some people are very smart
Some are quite good looking
Some have strong personal charisma
Some can smell asparagus...
If I eat it raw, it is worse. And I see no reason to ever cook it.
Do farts count?
Oh, yeah. I love asparagus, too. I figure it’s an indication of a profound intellect and a godlike physique. Either that or it’s an indication I’ve been eating asparagus. Could go either way.
And just how much did this earth-shattering research cost the government?
Yes, and almost immediately after I eat it. Asparagus is one of my favorite veggies.
I don’t mean to brag, but my body turns everything ingested into energy and maintenance. I have no need for a bathroom.
Well, not since I drank that glass of antifreeze.
Some are quite good looking
Some have strong personal charisma
Some can smell asparagus...
And guess which gene I got stuck with...
I don’t know about asparagus, but I do know that within 2 hours I can tell if the chili I ate was from Hormel...
Mine, too. Beets are another favorite veggie of mine, but they turn one's urine red. I've never eaten the two together, I can only imagine an unsuspecting person would scare themselves with the effluent from that combination! lol
I can laugh now, but I was quite worried when I ate beets as a teen with hypochondriac tendencies. I thought sure I was peeing blood...lol.
Today, when I get a pain on the left side of my chest, I know it's musculo-skeletal in nature. I see my doc every 3-4 months, so I'm good.
I heard the same thing about pineapple.
