Interesting... I never knew that garlic would also produce a urine odor. I've
smelled it on my skin a day after eating a kiiller garlic meal, but never in
urine. I seem to recall hearing that broccoli did the same. Now, I know the
asparagus odor very well (I eat asparagus like it's going out of style.) But,
I also eat loads of broccoli and garlic. I wonder if the genes that either
create the odor or permit you to smell it are different for different substances?
That seems unneccisarily specialized, but ya never know!
