"ADD/ADHD, emotional and behavioral disorders can all be triggered by too much Phenylalanine in the daily diet. If you are one in ten thousand people who are PKU or carry the PKU gene, Phenylalanine can cause irreversible brain damage and death, especially when used in high quantities or during pregnancy. Phenylalanine is 50% aspartame, and to the degree humans consume diet products, Phenylalanine levels are reaching a dangerous peak." Of course the page is not unbiased as it does offer a detox diet - BUT - the info was interesting. Anyone else ever hear of this? Doesn't affect me as I don't touch artificial sweeteners with a ten-foot-pole ... But thought it might interest a lot of you diet soda junkies :P Cheers, Erika ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Protect Your PC from viruses, hackers, spam and more.
