...Doctors are learning to control phenyl-pyruvic oligophrenia, a
brain-crippling disease of infants caused by the body's failure to
assimilate a protein called phenylalanine. University of Minnesota
nutritionists report the case of a one-year-old boy in whom a diet of
enriched and predigested milk protein, plus fruits and vegetables,
