Asparagus wee

[HeyWayne]

Why? How?

[Flummery]

It's a very small molecule that gives the smell - similar to that in onions - they reckon if you eat raw onion it can be detected on your shoes/socks. It's often smelly things that can migrate - have you noticed that if you take sandwiches in a poly bag in the same bag as a banana your butties taste of nana? Same thing. Small molecule can get through things

[HeyWayne]

Is that why some peoples' B.O. smells of onions?

[Lavenderblue]

I understand its a genetic thing. Only people with the right genes have smelly asparagus wee. My partner and I both get it but my house mate doesn't, so she tells me. I don't go around smelling other people's wee, that would be weird!

Didn't know about the raw onion thing though, it explains why Storm's socks are toxic most of the time.

Some people have an enzyme (can't remember which one, my biochemistry days are too long ago) which breaks down the smelly molecule, some people don't. As Lavenderblue says it's genetic whether you inherit the ability to manufacture the enzyme or not.

And some of curry! Which is quite appealing really, until you start associating yer Friday night curry with B.O...

It's not just asparagus though - sugar puffs do the same thing!

The dentist man is not the right person to get on the wrong side of

oh so wrong dear Sis when said DM has taken £750 out of my gardening fund and transferred it to his BMW fund - true I have some lovely fixed-up toofs but that is so not the point

Now if he was really thinking of his clients he'd have a bottle of red open and breathing!

LadyWayne does think that anything that smells that strong (asparagus/sugarpuff wee) must means it's good for you?

......he'd have a bottle of red open and breathing!

.....having put the amount I have into his BMW fund I will put this to him
