ANDY BRUNNING Debunks Food Myths and More
If you love science and or you have an inquisitive mind (I guess I fit the bill because I always tell people my first word was WHY), you'll enjoy reading WHY DOES ASPARAGUS MAKE YOUR PEE SMELL? written by ANDY BRUNNING. Andy is a Chemistry teacher in the UK and the owner of the site, COMPOUND INTEREST. The cover of Asparagus is quite eye-catching along with the bright illustration inside it. Andy seems like a very thorough guy with a keen mind. Each article also includes graphs, diagrams and the chemical makeup of the item its about. Andy has included a well-written introduction. The book is broken up into categories like Flavor, Poison, Health, Transformation and so on.
Now I know why I am not crazy about asparagus. I always knew beans were gassy but now I know why they make me (and you) fart.I am still looking for the tee shirt that says I MAKE MY OWN GAS! There really is one out there somewhere. If you find it, let me know. Do you know why lemon helps to reduce fish odor? I always thought, and now I know I'm wrong (don't tell anyone) that eating turkey makes you tired due to a chemical, tryptophan. We just overeat. Everyone says that eating carrots helps to improve eyesight (maybe not?). There are so many food myths floating around and Andy Brunning is just the right man to investigate them. Get your copy of WHY DOES ASPARAGUS MAKE YOUR PEE SMELL? today. It's a wonderful gift for a curious friend or family member.
