(More at http://www.aspartame.org) Beth Hubrich, RD, discusses the link between aspartame and Phenylketonuria (PKU), a rare inherited disease that prevents the essential amino acid phenylalanine from being properly metabolized. Phenylalanine is found in many foods naturally and is also a component of aspartame, so people with PKU must carefully monitor their overall diet, not just limit consumption of aspartame-containing products.
