Serendipity?

Revenge in the case of urine? As to tthe amylase bit I would guess the
same way many other amylase based drinks was discovered by hymanity.
This might be a non-answer, but who would know?

Actually I would like to see some real documentation before I bother
giving it much thought.

Having spent parts of my youth poking at animal feces (you can find out
lots of stuff about diet that way...) I don't really think it will
bother me much. I'm trying to figure out how to trigger my ick-factor,
and having a hard time. There are stuff I'd rather avoid (the nastier
radioactives and mutagens, homeopathy, etc) but few or no strong "icks".
