And I weirdly sort of like the smell of my own asparagus pee. Gross, I know. I was, however, once at a wedding where asparagus was served and the entire bathroom smelled. That was disgusting. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-get-stinky-pee-when-you-eat-asparagus#post-1386474 Wed, 29 Jan 2014 22:27:30 +0000 Mrs. Bee 1386474@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>yes! almost makes me not want to eat asparagus. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-get-stinky-pee-when-you-eat-asparagus#post-1386444 Wed, 29 Jan 2014 22:12:02 +0000 Crystal 1386444@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Along the same line, Beets turn your pee red, freaked me the hell out the first time I ate them. </p> <p>I love asparagus, hate the effect. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-get-stinky-pee-when-you-eat-asparagus#post-1386434 Wed, 29 Jan 2014 22:06:59 +0000 birdofafeather 1386434@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>sometimes.

While this SNP did not explain all of the difference in detection between people, it provides support for the theory that there are genetic differences in olfactory receptors that lead people to be unable to smell these odorous compounds."</p> <p><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asparagus#Effects_on_urine" rel="nofollow">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asparagus#Effects_on_urine</a></p> <p>Strange! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-get-stinky-pee-when-you-eat-asparagus#post-1386260 Wed, 29 Jan 2014 21:09:20 +0000 Freckles 1386260@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>How is that possible??
