I try not to drink it, but its in so many drinks, and even flavored waters I miss it some times.
Any one think they know why it messes with me so bad, because it isn't cool..

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phenylalanine

It's an amino acid, but beyond that my chemistry/biology are light enough that I don't really follow its use.

For dietary reasons, it's mainly an issue among products with artificial sweeteners, I think mainly aspartame. Aspartame, incidentally, is a chemical you should avoid like crazy. For a personal example, at one point I started drinking more diet soda to try and cut down on some useless calories and quickly deteriorated. Was hungry and lethargic all the time and it capped off with a splitting headache that didn't stop and continued for an entire weekend straight. I stopped drinking the diet soda and after 3-4 days started feeling like a million bucks.

Aspartame breaks down into phenylalanine, as well as other such fun chemicals as methanol (wood alcohol, you know the kind you shouldn't drink) and formaldehyde.

It's amazing what we put in our bodies.

Get a grip. Take a pill or get some excercise  and I'm sure you will feel better.

Taking a pill or getting some exercise isn't going to do you any good if you're ingesting a chemical that your body can't properly process.

Go drink a glass of mercury and see how much good exercise does you.

Phenylalanine or aspartame, have ill effects on some people. The way to fix it is to stop ingesting it. The way to know it's the chemical is to ask.

PKU, however, is tested for at birth....  I know for me, aspartame gives me terrible migraines.  Not that I seem to need much of a trigger.

Status: offline 		I don't know what to say. I talk about keeping the diet simple and it goes out the other ear. I talk about the FACT that different people need different diets and it goes out the other ear. I talk about staying away from the poisons that they sell and it goes out the other ear.

But when someone comes up with an article with a hundred three letter acromyns in it, it is gospel.

OK

Status: offline 		Well thank god I don't believe in the "diet food" magic. I believe that if I want something sweet I eat something with sugar in it, just less of it. Not corn syrup or anything I cannot pronounce, just sugar.

As far as sodas, can't stand them. I am all about water........yep, good ole H2O.
