Depends . . .: Phenylalanine is "bad" for anyone w/phenylketonuria (pku). Phenylalanine is most commonly found labeled in diet sodas that contain aspartame (http://www.Mayoclinic.Com/health/phenylalanine/an01552). It is now recommended that those w/pku continue to avoid phenylalanine even as adults (http://www.Mayoclinic.Com/health/phenylketonuria/ds00514).
