Why does urine sometimes smell like asparagus?


Answer:
Because you ate asparagus or other related vegetables. Brussels sprouts will also make your urine smell like vegetables. In fact, it's the result of a simple chemical reaction. Asparagus contains a sulfur compound called mercaptan, that's also found in rotten eggs, onions, and garlic. When your digestive tract breaks down the mercaptan, by-products are released that cause the funny smell. The process is so quick that your urine can develop the odor within 15 to 30 minutes of eating asparagus.Apparently, the body's ability to break down mercaptan is genetic, and the ability to actually smell the byproducts is also genetic.
probably ,you ate too much of it for supper=seriously i don't know
