Phenylalanine is what we derive aspartame from.
the L-amino acid is used as a sweetner.
It should be avoided by people with phenylketonuria (aka “PKU”), which is what that paper you linked to looks to be talking about. But PKU is an inherited genetic disorder, you can’t catch it,
it has been shown that temporary reduction of phenylalanine-4-hydroxylase activity can be induced by high levels of F in the diet
and it’s not Alzheimer’s.
Alzheimer’s is a disease related to the formation of amyloid from proteins, the core AB18-22 sequence is rich in F, and the VFF and FF have been shown to induce amyloid formation, but up until now it was not known that F does it too.
Honestly, there’s days when I wonder if Google’s down.
why are you using google to review the literature?
