Re: asparagus clicky poll

  • I learned today that this was genetic - bodies producing the funny smell and/or the ability to smell it. (It seems they aren't quite sure which it is, or maybe it is both.) Anyway, maybe you guys already knew this, but I was curious how our small sample stacks up. Apparently, statistically speaking, 50% of people have funny smelling pee after eating asparagus.

    I know it kind of freaked me out the first few times before I realized what it was :) 

  • JJ and I both get it. Whenever I make asparagus he always has to comment about it. I'd rather not know... lol

  • I had read about the genetic aspect of it before.  Interesting stuff.

    From Wikipedia: It is believed most people produce the odorous compounds after eating asparagus, but only about 22% of the population have the autosomal genes required to smell them.

  • Cilantro tasting like soap or dish detergent is genetic too. 

    I'm in the cilantro sucks because it tastes like soap camp.

  • What a strange genetic adaptation both of those issues are. I wonder what evolution was trying to accomplish there.
