Answer;
-For individuals with phenylketonuria
Explanation;
The warning label that appears on products containing NutraSweet (aspartame) is necessary to prevent problems for people with phenylketonuria.
Phenylketonuria is an inherited disorder that increases the levels of a substance called phenylalanine in the blood. Phenylalanine is a building block of proteins (an amino acid) that is obtained through the diet.
Aspartame is one of the most common artificial sweeteners in use today. It is made by joining together the amino acids aspartic acid and phenylalanine. Treatment of phenylketonuria involves a diet that is very low in phenylalanine, particularly when the child is growing.
