What IS Phenylalanine and What Is it Doing In My Green Tea?

I dreamed all night about being bit by snakes, so I am in a very grouchy mood today...

Hence, I am just going to bitch about stuff today...enter this blog at your own risk, specially if you are NOT in the mood to read the ramblings of one very cranky woman...

Anyway, I love my Diet Lipton Green Tea (Citrus flavor) but it disturbs me to read that it contains phenylketonurics -- phenylalanine. I decided to Google the subject and see what the hell I'm drinking twice, sometimes three times, a day.

So here is what I found...

As I suspected, it has to do with that damn nasty, sweet poison aspartame...

Wonder if aspartame poisoning can cause snake dreams...

I mean, what else could it be?

I never saw the movie "Snakes On A Plane," though there may have been a snake at the Cincinnati airport but i didn't see it at the time...I dunno...

I'm also not too thrilled about the latest report regarding the wonderfully buttery (albeit fake buttery) smell of micorave popcorn...

Did you read about that?

Arghghghghghgh...

No wonder we are all keeling over from cancer and other horrible and often mysterious diseases and ailments...

We all need detox...

Annie,

Are there snakes in the Cinci airport? You must report that right away! No telling who they might bite. I hear they have snakes in the southwest so I don't go that way. Let me know if you figure out that snake dream...stoney
