Phenylketonuria (PKU) - Video
If you have Phenylketonuria (PKU) (Imbecillitas phenylpyruvica, as it
was formerly known), you MUST avoid Aspartame (NutraSweet). Persons with
the genetic disorder phenylketonuria (PKU) cannot metabolize
phenylalanine. This leads to dangerously high levels of phenylalanine in
the brain (sometimes lethal). It has been shown that ingesting
aspartame, especially along with carbohydrates, can lead to excess
levels of phenylalanine in the brain even in persons who do not have
PKU. Aspartame is 40% phenylalanine.
