Vegetables give us many benefits such as helping us get the nutrients we need to stay healthy. However, some veggies can have unwanted side effects and cause us to stink when we eat them. You may know about the obvious ones such as onions or garlic but some of the other veggies on the list may really shock you!

The Veggies That May You Stink Include:

Asparagus
Asparagus contains several organic compounds that, when metabolized by your body turn into various ammonia and sulfur products. The effect of asparagus on pee odor is isn't much of a secret, and has been a documented phenomena for hundreds of years. But while the smell it creates is unpleasant, it might turn out to be a non-issue in terms of giving offense since most people pee in private.

Garlic
The pungent effects of garlic are created as sulfur compounds within it are metabolized producing allyl methyl sulfide. It makes its way to your lungs, where it can escape on your breath. It doesn't stop there, though, as the compound also heads to your skin where it's secreted with your sweat, making you doubly rank.

Cruciferous vegetables
Fiber is good for your digestion, but it comes with the unfortunate side effect of making you “toot,” which happens to be the perfect distribution mechanism for the now familiar and abundant sulfur compounds that are also found in this family of vegetables.

Alcohol
True: alcohol is not a vegetable. But the stuff you drink are made from plants and grains. The alcohol is metabolized into acetic acid, which, along with remnant alcohol in your blood stream, is excreted through your pores. If you drink too much, the levels will build up to the point where you develop unpleasant stale alcohol body odor.

Curry, cumin
All that concentrated flavor that so easily permeates through your food just as easily permeates through you. If you eat them too often, they'll start to come out in your sweat, and you'll find yourself advertising your spicy preferences through your skin.
Coffee
If you drink too much coffee, you get the combination of a raised metabolism that can make you sweat, an acid stomach that can upset your digestion and cause flatulence, and dehydration that leads to a dry mouth and bad breath.

Legumes
Beans are a great source of fiber, which as well as benefiting the digestion and general health of the bowels can also react in your intestine to produce both voluminous but unexciting gases like carbon dioxide, hydrogen, and methane, as well as less sociable volatile sulfur compounds.

Now you know what veggies to avoid when meeting someone new.
