That CAN'T be true! / How many grams of carbs/sugar in semen?
« on: 19/07/2009 18:24:49 »Before we nix the semen topic, can we address why things in and excreted from the body are the color that they are? I've always wondered, but never asked why :
semen is white / off white
urine is yellow / clear
feces is brown due to bilirubin excreted by the liver
the liver is purplish because it breaks down red blood cells
blood is red
feces is....
the liver is purple-ish
etc.
etc.
Any takers?

Semen is white due to the sugar
Urine is yellow from the liver breaking down ammonia into urea and releasing it, as well as bilirubin
Blood is red due to the iron combining with oxygen when it hits the outside
Feces is due to excretion of bilirubin from the liver
The liver is purple-ish because it breaks down red blood cells. Blood is full of iron, which is a dark red color
