Asparagus is tasty, healthy and very nutritious - but I think this article goes a little too far!! The only things not claimed are a cure for baldness and telepathic powers! A healthy, balanced diet provides many of the benefit listed. Happy eating!

It's because of the way that the body breaks down the asparagus inside your body. Nothing to worry about!
