Last night I ate a great number of beets.

Today my pee is reddish pink.

I find this fascinating ....

Strong stuff, beets.

You betcha!

I should probably keep my mouth shut here, but in high school science class we were told to each eat a can of beets (or maybe it was less than that, memory's not so good) and then watch our poo so we could determine the transit time.

The way it was described to us (people often mistake it for blood, so we were told), many of us missed it. We kept watching, and watching, and days went by, and we still kept watching, and a week went by, and then we started getting worried....

TMI, I'm sure, but I couldn't resist the urge to share this one.

Pink poo!!!!!!!

I have to admit it had me remembering the "Claire makes Tandoori Chicken" incident ....

I seem to recall that. And it was pink too. Pretty nasty.

I fed an art machine (Cloaca) in the New Museum beets a few years ago. The whole thing's innards turned red. It was amazing. I still find this fascinating!

Wow how cool!

Yeah I have been eating lots of beets and beet greens with the garden and vegetable (CSA) box this summer and have noticed how even the tiniest bit will turn everything reddish pink.

heh.

Beeeeeets! Beets are one of the yummiest foods ever.

But yes, it will turn your pee pink or red sometimes. And, as sweetsweethoney mentioned, other things, too.
