DESCRIPTION: Beeturia, the passage of pink urine after beetroot consumption, is a reminder that phytonutrients circulate throughout our bloodstream, explaining the connection between “garlic breath” and the use of garlic as an adjunct treatment for pneumonia. Have a question about this video? Leave it in the comment section at http://nutritionfacts.org/videos/pretty-in-pee-nk/ and I’ll try to answer it! This is a follow-up to Friday’s video-of-the-day Asparagus pee (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/asparagus-pee/), a tangent in my series about the athletic performance-enhancing effects of vegetables that started with Doping with beet juice (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/doping-with-beet-juice/). For more on the wonders of garlic, check out videos #1 Anticancer Vegetable (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/1-anticancer-vegetable/) and the “prequel,” Veggies vs. Cancer (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/veggies-vs-cancer/). And that’s just one of more than a thousand subjects I have videos (http://nutritionfacts.org/topics/) on here at NutritionFacts.org (http://nutritionfacts.org/) —an all-free, no-ads, and evidence-based (see links to all the papers in the Sources Cited section above) resource for all.<

Great video and punny-thanks!
Thank you for the amazing, interesting and humorous info you make available to all of us. I'm so glad I was introduced to your channel. I have purchased all of your videos and have enjoyed them many times over. Your YouTube channel just makes it easier and faster to search for a topic.
Dr. Greger, I would like your feedback on this comment made by Victoria Boutenko regarding seeing pink urine after eating beets. She said that if your urine is discoloured after eating beets, it is an indication of a hydrochloric acid deficiency. I never experience this on a raw food diet with regular consumption of beets, although I suspect my colon is a pretty shade of pink. 😉 Thank your your time and in depth research. I'm hooked on your channel. Diana
lol you may amuse your test lab too
