What causes urine to be heavy and sink to the bottom of the toilet?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Higher density: typically more salt than in the water, but can also be more protein. Probably canNOT be high sugar because that would pull water out of you and make the urine LESS dense rather than more dense. In fact, it isn't the salt in the urine, its the lack of water. People who are a bit dehydrated have concentrated urine. It is denser due to the salt in it, and it sinks.
