Pine nut mouth, red meat sweat... When enjoying delicious food, you might not expect some strange symptoms to appear. Recently, US "Yahoo News" summarized these symptoms caused by food.
Pine nut mouth. This crispy little seed can damage the taste buds for up to a month. Some people also develop "oral syndrome" after eating pine nuts, the main symptoms of which are a metallic or bitter taste in the mouth that does not go away for a period of time.
Broad bean urine. Eating too many broad beans can turn urine brown. This dark brown color is a byproduct of flavonoids (epicatechin, epicatechin, and quercetin), all three of which are found in broad beans. If your urine turns brown, don't panic, as these flavonoids can reduce oxidative stress in the body and promote heart health.
Garlic body odor. Garlic not only causes bad breath but also leads to body odor. Compounds in garlic (such as allyl methyl sulfide) enter the bloodstream and then the sweat and urine. As a result, some people's body odor smells like garlic bread, which disappears after 48 hours. If you love garlic, the fat in milk can help you metabolize this smell faster.
Asparagus urine. After eating asparagus, you may notice a sulfur-like foul smell when you urinate. Asparagus contains sulfur-containing amino acids, which cause urine to have a unique odor.
Red meat sweat. Amino acids in red meat leave residues in the gastrointestinal tract; these residues eventually pass through the body and mix with bacteria on the skin's surface during sweating, making sweat smellier than usual. Czech scholars have found that if red meat is removed from the diet and vegetable intake is increased, this odor will dissipate.
