[/QUOTE]ur info is not accurately correct [QUOTE] Classical PKU is caused by a defective gene for the enzyme phenylalanine hydroxylase (PAH). The enzyme normally converts the amino acid phenylalanine to tyrosine. If, due to a faulty or missing enzyme, this reaction does not take place, levels of phenylalanine in the body can be far higher than normal, and levels of tyrosine lower than normal. [/QUOTE][/qb][/QUOTE]So how is it not correct? :confused: It's stating exactly what I said, that the missing enzyme to break down the protein is why the patients have the problems. They're on a very strict diet and have to watch everything they put in their bodies, because of this, dairy in the form of eggs, cheese, milk, etc. are excluded. The main reason they have to watch their diets is simply because the human body really only 'uses' so much protein in a 24 hour period. You should find a PKU patient online and speak with them further, I have one in our family which is how I know. [/qb][/QUOTE]OK SMUCKY I SEE I MISUNDERSTAND UR POST NOW ;) I JUS READ STUFF IN http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phenylketonuria :) [/QB][/QUOTE]
