Question 10

why is my urine white

Accepted Answer

White vs clear: Typically the color of your urine tells us about your hydration status.  I am assuming you mean clear in color when you say white - if it is white and cannot see through it well, please go see someone right away, but if you mean it looks more like 7UP or Sprite, that means you are typically well hydrated, the more dark yellow your urine looks, the more dehydrated you likely are.
