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.

Same here. Thank goodness for the internet ;)

I have a friend who experienced the same.
And beets don’t just make your pee red. It can be scary if you don’t know about it.
Called Beeturia.
I grew some beets that were very sweet and very ‘colorful’.

8-Q I’ve never had that happen! I love beets and when I can, I eat a lot of them. I love fresh asparagus, too. The only time my urine changes color is when I take a pill that cleanses the urinary tract...and then it will turn orange. The only time I notice any difference in odor is if I am a little dehydrated.
That’s an interesting find about the asparagus...Did that happen to cost us a lost 6 billion to learn about?
