A member asked:
Why do i have smelly urine when eating asparagus?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Its normal: Asparagus contains a powerfull antioxidant that contains sulfur. Most of the chemical compounds containing sulfur have a bad smell. Does not mean you are sick or that something is going on. The unpleasant smell will dissapear in a day or two.
