Phenylalanine is available in 500mg tablets in many health food stores.  Many
people take a gram a day with no apparent ill effects.  Pearson and Shaw's
recent book LIFE EXTENSION, if I remember correctly, discuss its value as
a precursor to one of the brain's neurotransmitters.  Evidence that it is
dangerous to use is news to me, and I would be interested in hearing more.
