“Can certain foods cause a smell in the urine?”
I read an article on how certain foods like asparagus and garlic could transfer a certain smell to the urine. Is this true? How does food smell come to the urine in spite of the entire digestion process that occurs in the body?

Certain foods that can temporarily give urine a stronger smell – here are the most likely culprits:
1- Bananas, salmon, turkey, and chicken
2- Alcohol and coffee
3- Asparagus
4- Curry
5- Brokli
6- Brussel sprouts
7- Puffed wheat

Yes this is true, your body breaks down asparagusic acid into sulphur compounds, which your kidneys excrete creating the smell.
