DESCRIPTION: Young infants and perhaps those with recurrent oxalate kidney stones should avoid beets, but most commonly the chief side-effect is beeturia, the harmless passage of pink urine, though not all are affected, akin to the malodorous urine ("stinky pee") that sometimes results from asparagus consumption. Have a question about this video? Leave it in the comment section at http://nutritionfacts.org/videos/asparagus-pee/ and I'll try to answer it! If you missed the beginning of this series, start with the experiments described in Doping with beet juice (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/doping-with-beet-juice/) and replicated in yesterday's video (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/out-of-the-lab-onto-the-track/). In Monday's video-of-the-day, I'll use beeturia to illustrate an important point about phytonutrients and return to the nitric oxide story on Tuesday. Have a great weekend, and feel free to spend it watching hundreds of my other videos on more than a thousand subjects (http://nutritionfacts.org/topics/). For the asparagus lovers out there, check out my videos #1 Anticancer Vegetable (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/1-anticancer-vegetable/) and Best Cooking Method (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/best-cooking-method/).
