In reply to ISN'T PHENYLALININE A COMPONENT OF ASPARTAME??, posted by sac on August 20, 2006, at 7:46:40
I'm interested in phenylalanine too- have been helped by the "L' form- though I stumbled onto something about "phenylalanine" being part of aspartame, also. I'm not sure I understood- I saw some other stuff which indicated that there are several forms, and I got the impression overall that despite it being part of aspartame, it's fine. I also got something about how some people are unable to metabolize phenylalanine, and that is the reason for all of the "contains phenylalanine" warnings on products. I wonder if it's the OTHER ingredients in aspartame that are troublesome? If anyone knows for sure about any of this, I'm on the edge of my seat in anticipation of a clear explanaition...Thanks!

> Hi,
> I'm interested in the amino acids to help my BPII. I'm curious about phenylalinine (sp?) but isn't it in diet sodas that contain aspartame? Aspartame is death for me...it made me terribly depressed the day after I would consume it, so I avoid it now. I'm reluctant to try L-phenylalinine because I associate it with that horrible aspartame. I've tried tyrosine with limited success. Any opinions?
