Whenever i drink a diet cola, it says in the back that it contains phenylananine. What's that? What actually are these no sugar products made of?

Phenylalanine is one of the essential amino acids found in proteins and is found naturally in foods such as eggs, milk, bananas, and meat.

Some kind of sugar substitute is used. Phenylalanine is a compontent of the artificial sweeteners containing aspartame, which is the sugar substitue. You can do a web search for both phenylalanine and aspartame to find out more.

Phenylalanine is an amino acid used to form proteins. Most "No Sugar" food products are made with sugar alcohols, which have a slower absorbtion rate than white refined sugar, or high fructose corn syrup. This slower absorption rate makes it possible for Diabetics, or people suffering from hypoglycemia, to enjoy sweetened snacks and beverages when their bodies can not tolerate regular sugar, or high fructose corn syrup.

Its Nutra Sweet and Nutra sweet is very unstable and turns into formaldihyde in your eyeballs making you go blind sooner than you wanted. I drink sweet sugar pop Pepsi. To hell with all the artificial sweeteners. They are are dangerous in one way or another.
