Why Does Asparagus Make Your Urine Smell?

Do you ever notice a nasty smell coming from your urine after you have eaten asparagus?  You are not alone.

Asparagus contains a compound called mercaptan which is also found in rotten eggs, onions and garlic. When your digestive system breaks down mercaptan, perfumes are released that cause the strange smell.

So don’t worry, its totally normal.  Once the asparagus is out of your system you will return to normal.
