Why does your urine smell after you eat asparagus?

My urine smells, and I don't eat asparagus.  My guess is that urine just smells.  In fact, it smells a lot like urine.

Food you eat can also cause I change in smell. Asparagus and Brocolli are notorious. Excessive red meats can do it too.

A few years ago one of the outdoor shows on TV did an experiment to see if deer were scared off by odors.  They used Mennen after shave as one of the odors, human urine as another and ammonia as the third.  Each was poured on bushes in an area known to have deer in it and the experimenters hid away from the test smells and photographed the results.  The bucks were a bit more cautious about the smells but the does were very curious and would come up and sniff each one.  They were not so curious about the Mennen aftershave but showed no fear of it.  The ammonia drew a bit more attention and curiosity but the urine was very interesting to them.  After the does began to examine the various smells, the bucks came out and began to look them over.  They went so far as to actually taste the urine on the bushes.  The supposition was that they were tasting for pheromones that would have been present in doe urine.  Even though it was obvious to them that what they had found wasn't doe urine, they weren't afraid of it.  So, I guess, based upon this single experiment, you need not fear peeing near your stand.  If the experiment results are generally accurate, you might even improve your chances of getting a deer.

your blood sugar is really high, and when it gets high to a certain point the sugar gets into your urine, and the sugar absorbs water out of your body so it makes you pee more so you have to drink more to make up for the water you lose

It's the vitamins. When you take vitamins, your body will process the vitamins and minerals you need to extract from the pill(s), then you liver and kidneys will flush out the excess, and the end result is usually bright neon yellow urine, as well as a smell. If you are having any other symptoms, please see a doctor, it could be something other than your vitamins, and could be microscopically destroying your reproductive organs, or a bladder infection.

Bacteria grow and feed in the sweat causing byproducts that stink\nuse an anti persperant instead of a deodorant. drink more water for the pee problem. You should pee clear to a slight yellow color with little or no odor. Both problems could be caused by what you are eating as well. Asparagus really makes my urine smell.

Because these sugary treats are expelled from your body through urine, feces and your pores.  Drink more water if you want to change your urine.  You should anyway if your smelling your urine that strongly whether it be sweet or sour.  Your kidneys and bladder will thank you.

it may be due to ur less intake of liquids, more sweating to heat, or it may be due to some infection in urogenital tract, traces albumin have no significan indication but u just take care, take more liquids and cittrus fruits

Avoid diuretics (substances that make you go pee) like asparagus and coffee. Don't drink alcohol either.\n\nAnd if you REALLY must go, bring a container with you (although hopefully you can make a pit stop somewhere).

Sometimes certain drugs can be found in common over-the-counter medications (thus the reason why they normally ask you if you have taken any medication before the give you a urine test). Also, it has been shown that certain foods you eat before taking various drug tests can cause a positive result for a drug. An experiment was done where a person eat a bagel with poppy seeds on it and then took a urine test. the person tested positive for opium! Go figure!!

And the funny thing about this is that some people say that asparagus doesn't make their pee smell. It turns out that some people just genetically lack the ability to *smell* the smell that their pee gives off after they eat asparagus.\n\nThat's one of the weirdest bits of trivia I know. And now you know it too.

One possible reason may be the glucosinolates present in asparagus and other brassica vegetables.  Through a series of chemically transforming steps during digestion, glucosinolates become molecules such as Indole-3-carbinol that modulate (usually up-regulate) the activity of certain enzymes in your body involved in detoxification and metabolism.  This process may lead to a transient increase in certain odoriferous metabolites that are eliminated in urine.\n\nBest wishes!

I am assuming you are concerned with the olfactory response of most culinarist while eliminating urine post consumption of Asparagus.  A review of this phenomena has been done.  A quote to give you an idea:\n\n"All investigations in the literature have been subjective, the urine being smelled by individuals (sometimes a panel of individuals) who had been previously shown to be able to positively smell and identify asparagus-related odorous urines. However, with subjective assessment, apprehension always exists concerning the results. "\n\nSo, they can't even decide on who smells what.  Anyhow, the paper is easy to follow, so go have fun, it covers beetroot as well.  As to why it "makes" it through your system so fast, the odor producing chemicals are quite soluble, and serum levels of highly soluble ingested chemicals can be detected in a few minutes.  Try taking a liquid B vitamin supplement a few minutes before you need to relieve yourself.  It gets glowing yellow quite rapidly.  Hope this answers your question.
