My apologies for bringing up a topic like this, I won't be doing that again, it's just that I noticed my pee is well, a bright yellow I have never seen before. Is that good sign? I do drink three 32 oz bottles of water a day.

Are you taking a vitamin supplement? If so, this is likely due to one of the B vitamins - I forget whether it's B12 or B6, but one of them will make your pee more "colorful".

I think too much vitamin c will do the same thing....

Vitamin B2 (Riboflavin) will turn urine electric yellow. The body is just flushing (no pun intended) what it was not able to absorb.

Ditto. I don't know what it is. Doesn't seem to be a problem.
