Food sources of phenylalanin -- It is contained in most protein rich foods but good sources are found in dairy products, almonds, avocados, lima beans, peanuts and seeds. There is more phenylalanine in regular foods than in diet drinks. For example, while a can of diet drink has 100 mg of phenylalanine, an egg has 300 mg, a glass of milk has 500 mg and a large hamburger has 900 mg. It is used as an artificial sweetener in soft drinks and for the giving the feel nice after-effect. Source(s): http://www.abc.net.au/science/k2/moments...
Definition. Phenylketonuria (fen-ul-ke-toe-NU-re-uh), also called PKU, is a rare inherited disorder that causes an amino acid called phenylalanine to build up in your body. PKU is caused by a defect in the gene that helps create the enzyme needed to break down phenylalanine.Without the enzyme necessary to process phenylalanine, a dangerous buildup can develop when a person with PKU eats foods that are high in protein. This can eventually lead to serious health problems.or the rest of their lives, people with PKU â babies, children and adults â need to follow a diet that limits phenylalanine, which is found mostly in foods that contain protein. Babies in the United States and many other countries are screened for PKU soon after birth.
