Phenylalanine is touted as a "wonder supplement" by a lot of people.

If you understand a few things about the incredibly complex redox reaction going on inside your body you will appreciate the abilities of BOTH isomers. It's pretty much worth it.

Also, it has come to my attention recently that I am apparently the only human being that does not read very much into every single action that a person makes - so, if I have offended any of you with anything I've ever done, it was most definitely unintentional; please do not hold it against me. Furthermore, stop reading in to the things I do! You know very well that I don't put any thought into the emotional bearings of anything I do on anyone around me. It's not because I'm mean, it's just because I don't think about it; does that make sense?

So, in conclusion, that's why I seem like a spaced-out asshole to a lot of people a lot of the time. I make social gaffes because I am very different from all of you. Rest assured, the feeling of incomprehensibility is mutual - I have no more idea why you do what you do than you have an idea why I do what I do. If we can set aside these cognitive differences I'm sure we could be great friends. I do enjoy my friends you know, and I'm not such a lunatic once you get to know me. :-p

I'm not the kind of nerd who doesn't know how to have friends. I'm just the kind of nerd who doesn't know how to have completely ordinary social relationships. With some people. Do you see where I'm going?

Didn't think so.
