Intestines & Beets: What’s the Connection?

If you eat beets and you have pink urine, does it mean that your kidneys are failing? No, they’re not failing. In fact, to claim such a thing is utter physiological illiteracy. Kidneys have nothing to do with it; your kidneys are actually fine. Do you need this beet dye inside you? No, you don’t. Therefore, the kidneys excrete it out – everything is correct. The question is different. If you don’t need it, why did the intestines absorb it? This is the main question – not a question to the kidneys, but to the intestines. If the intestines worked as they should, they would have filtered out this dye initially. Therefore, if after beets, the urine is colored, you need to deal not with the kidneys but with the intestines
