wtf, been holding back the units since NCAA college b-ball tourneys started.....bored as hell doin work on the net.....multi tasking and came across this gem:
Dear Dr. Dave and Dee,
My boyfriend's urine smelled awful after eating asparagus. We both ate the same meal, but my urine was fine. My boyfriend says that everyone's urine smells after eating asparagus, and since mine doesn't, then I'm the strange one, not him. No one in my family has ever had urine odor from eating anything. Is he right, or might he have a problem?
Signed,
Worried

Dear Worried,
There is nothing wrong with your boyfriend. Not everyone has smelly urine shortly after eating asparagus, but many do. About half of the population will notice this odor after eating asparagus because of the sulfur-containing amino acids which break down after ingestion.
