: how does a solid like asparagus seems to go straight to urine within 30mins, instead of stool 3 days later? what other solid have this same impact?
In: Biology
When you chew the asparagus and dissolve it in stomach acid it is no longer a solid. This process releases various organic sulfur compounds found in asparagus. These compounds gets absorbed into the blood stream like all the other neutrients in the asparagus. But the liver and then the kidney will brake these down and seperate them into the urine giving it the perticular smell.
Technically all food and drink will have the same impact on your body and your urine. However most of them produce metabolic biproducts which are not as easy to detect by humans from a distance. However it is easier for dogs or specialised labratories to recognize different chemicals in your urine or even your sweat which originates from things you have eaten.
