The real fact
Aspartame
Aspartame, the sweet stuff in diet soda, is two amino acids snapped together: basically the tiniest peptide, and 200x sweeter than sugar. The warning on the can is for people whose bodies can't break down one of those two bricks.

Comedy, not medical advice. Amino Falls never sells peptides or links to anyone who does. Each episode explains one real fact for general education. Nothing here is a recommendation to use anything. Talk to a doctor about your own health.

A DIET soda, dumbass. The sweet stuff is called aspartame, and it's made of amino acids.

Danny
He's WHAT?
Theo
Aspartame is two amino acids snapped together. Basically the tiniest peptide. And it's two hundred times sweeter than sugar.
Danny
Then what's "PHENYLKETONURICS" on the can?
Theo
Some people are born with bodies that can't break down one of those two bricks. So the can has to warn them.
Garth
My body can break down ANYTHING.
