Code Green. Someone ate aparagus for lunch I never realized that not everyone can smell the asparagus-related odor change to urine. Then I learned that there is a genetic marker for it, which can be tested for. Strange. Now I just need to know why some of us have this ability. Pretty useless so far. |

Eating asparagus generally causes you to excrete ammonia and sulfur in your urine. Everyone should be able to smell ammonia and sulfur. If you can't smell ammonia and sulfur, that is caused by genetic mutations generally linked to human's increasing reliance on large brains and vision over smell. Humanity is basically selecting out the ability to smell asparagus pee, because it is artifact of something that used to be important to humanity, namely being able to smell that some things were poisonous or rotten. Similar issues are causing more and more people to require orthodontic work and more and more people being born with fewer teeth. Eyes and bigger brains and more of the brain devoted to the eye are crowding out the nose, the amount of the brain devoted to the nose and the size of the mouth. |

BTW, I LUVS me some asparagus. On the grill with a li’l olive oil drizzle. |

Science prof friend of mine did this genetic test in his freshman class. I should’ve asked him more about it, but I was just surprised to learn that not everyone can smell it. |
