Cause Of Dark Urine #2: Food
Food and drinks come in a wide range of colors with pretty much every color on the visible spectrum accounted for. This is down to various pigments and other compounds that affect the color. When we digest food, though, it is broken down into its basic constituents, which are then processed.
This means it doesn’t usually come out the same color as it went in, but there are exceptions. Foods like beets and blackberries can cause your urine to become pink in color. Fava beans and aloe can turn it brown. There are numerous other examples and it is usually completely harmless to us.
