    Default I ate a beet - thought I was dying!!!!!!!

    Even though I love vegetables and eat a lot of them, I had never had beets. So I decided to try one.

    Later on when I went pee, it was a reddish-pink colour - thought I was bleeding!

    Nobody told me that sometimes, after eating beets, your pee can turn a reddish-pink colour and it's perfeclty harmless.

    Now I can't stop laughing.

    lol it really did! I thought I was dying lol

    I can't say I loved it (beets). It was okay. I'll probably like it more as I aquire a taste for it. It kind of tasted a little like dirt? a little. I roasted it, then drizzled good olive oil and fresh lemon juice on it.. salt, pepper, and some minced red onion.

    Lol - yes the fresh ones do taste muddy, i prefer pickled too. Just a warning in advance if you ever eat asparagus or sugar puffs breakfast cereal they make your wee smell oh and those berocca soluble energy vitamin drinks make your wee a luminous green colour!

    Yeah I'm very familiar with the asparagus after-effects LOL.

    Beets on hamburgers? The pickled ones?

    I'll have to try cold pickled ones.... maybe I'll like them better.

    LOL that happened to me too! I didn't particularly like the beets, either. But the pink pee was too funny!

    Another thing that did that was Dairy Queen's raspberry smoothie. I had nearly RED pee from that.

    When our church group visited Mexico when I was in the 5th grade, some soft drink I had there gave me BLUE and then GREEN pee.

    It was WAY COOL to a 5th grader!

    Yes, our kidneys quietly filter out most unusable compounds. Most of them are invisible in a water solution. But the ones that ARE visible make for some good entertainment!

    If you want to prank someone, give them "methylene blue" coloring. It is used for coloring aquarium water blue. Non-toxic, and will color a person's pee DARK blue.

    I remember Oprah talking about that on her show once and it was too funny. She said she ate a bunch of beets and ran to the doc the next day thinking there was something seriously wrong with her!
