.......Why, after eating my beloved asparagus, does it cause me to turn my head
in avoidance of noxious fumes eminating from the above substance when forced to
"piddle"??.......I've asked other people, and some said "yea" and others said
"neah"........I usually serve mine with a velveeta cheese sauce over the top of
lightly STEAMED spears. Any tips on avoiding "the smell", or is it a personal
thing???

I understand it's genetic...

I have the same problem.

I don't care. I eat it anyway, any chance I get. ;-)

It's a genetic thing, but the genetics are not so simple as there
being a single gene for "asparagus pee". There's also probably a
genetic inability in some people to detect this particular odor, and
production of the compounds that lead to the odor depends at least
somewhat on the growing conditions of the asparagus. For more than
you'd ever want to know on the subject, see S. C. Mitchell, "Food
Idiosyncrasies: Beetroot and Asparagus", in Drug Metabolism and
Disposition, Vol. 29, Issue 4, Part 2, 539-543, April 2001, online at

Could it be the method of preparation? The next time I have "a spear of
grass" I'll endeavour to remember to take a whiff.
