The rate of inflation formula shown is not to be confused with the purchasing power of goods relative to income. An example, albeit an extreme example, would be an individual who recently discovers that their income will increase to $1,000,000 from $20,000 per year--a 5,000% increase.
A common symptom of diabetes is sweet-smelling urine. People with untreated diabetes have high blood sugar levels. High blood sugar levels cause the sweet urine odor. See your doctor as soon as possible if your urine frequently smells sweet. Untreated diabetes is dangerous and can be life threatening.
Several factors may contribute to what causes urine to smell, and most of them mean you should consult your doctor, according to the National Institutes of Health. The reasons your urine has a strong odor include: -Foods, medications and vitamins can all potentially cause your urine to smell. For example, eating asparagus or pineapple can both change your urine's odor in different ways. -Dehydration can leave the urine more concentrated, so it takes on more of an ammonia-like smell.
