The more you know

Eating a lot of fresh beets will make your urine turn vaguely pink.

This is something you should be told before you eat a lot of fresh beets and then use the bathroom.

There's an elaborate practical joke in this somewhere.

Thanks for the heads-up.

And too much Vitamin B makes it go a sort of yellowish green.

Of course, pink is arguably the more worrisome colour.

And too much grape Kool-aid turns your poop radioactive green--sometimes I think there should be warning labels on this kind of stuff.

There is one on Pepto-Bismol. Which can turn your poop a disturbing shade of black.

I've seen greenish, but never pink. 0_o; Wonder if pickled beets will have the same effect? That's pretty much the only kind I eat.
