If you’re constantly opting for asparagus as your side dish, you’re making an excellent choice! Aside from being rich in antioxidants, this veggie is loaded with nutrients like folate, vitamin C and vitamin A, all of which boost your immune system.
However, it can also have a less-than-pleasant side effect: smelly urine.
In short, eating asparagus can give your urine a sulfurous odor that resembles cooked cabbage (I know, not pretty at all).
According to Dr. Clark, ‘Some scientists believe this is a result of digestion and the breakdown of sulfur-containing compounds in asparagus that become volatile (airborne) in our urine and can be smelled 15 to 30 minutes after eating asparagus.’
Don’t worry, though – this is a temporary side effect that doesn’t pose any real threat to your health.
