Cheryl B	I've eaten beets my whole life and the answer is no. It's just like any other food, your stomach digests it and it comes out just like everything else. If your pee is red, you need to see a doctor.

Quarter Horse nerd 2	NO CLUE

PIKA	Yes! like a dark pink color , your fine! I was also kinda freaked out when I peed pink. If you eat more than I'm sure its darker.

Abigail F	Yes, they actually can. They can also change the color of your stool.

Momsey	yes, it is definitely possible.

RLO	Yes they will turn your pee a pinkish red color so if this happend to you it's totally normal.

Smart Alex tm	did you know that most of the time red pee after eating beets is a sign that your body needs a little more iron in your diet? also a condition called beeturia exists when eating a lot of other oxalic acid containing foods such as spinach, Rhubarb, or chocolate it causes you to pee red. however, only 14% of people have this problem.

10slfty9	yes it seriously does. when i was little that was how my mom got my brother and i to eat our beets. we ate them because our pee turned red and we thought it was cool. you have to eat a lot but it really does happen. try it

Krissy	Yes, it can actually. Especially sugard (sp?)beets, which will make you pee purple. But if it continues even after you eat beets, like a few days later and you haven't had any, go to the doctor, cause that is a sign of your kidney filtering your blood and you need to have that looked at immediately.

welig	Yes, eating beets can make your urine turn red. It is harmless The condition is called beeturia.

jellypollo	Of course it does. I do it all the time just so I can pee red. if you drink a lot of water you can pee clear. but yellow pee is tha bomb.

Casey	yes it can cause red or pink discoloration in some people..and Asparagus can make it smell different.

here	They can make bowel movements bright red.

McLovin713	Yes i know for a fact they do actually its more purple

oozahnawahtzyl	It makes me pee purple! Well, more of a burgundy color... Edit LOL I can tell these people in here don't usually eat beets. I have eaten plenty of beets before and they do make my urine turn the color of beet juice. Number 2 too...

Computer Guy	Yes, eating fresh beets can make pee pink. Suprised so many people say "no". It wears off fast.
