what is the relationship between aspartame and phenylketonuria?

Question by aa: what is the relationship between aspartame and phenylketonuria?



Greatest answer:

Answer by AL
Aspartame is a dipeptide combination of aspartic acid and phenylalanine. Patients with phenylketonuria are unable to metabolize phenylalanine which interferes with brain development especially in kids. So in short, aspartame is toxic to phenylketonurics. Hope it helps some.

All I know is aspartame is poison and should be banned from our food system. It is criminal what our government is doing with synthetic sugars. There are many hidden names so buyer beware!
