D-phenylalanine (enkephalinase inhibitor)

Interesting substance, its one of the few dextro (right-spinning optical isomer) amino acids that you can process or something.

I think its fascinating because its purportedly an ~~endorphin reuptake~~ enkephalinase inhibitor? or something so its potentially quasi-opioidergic. I'm not sold on the notion its legit but its definitely a provocative idea.

This feels like one of those "is water wet?" pseudo-paradoxes.

Is MSG actually tasty or does it make other things tasty while not actually being tasty itself?

definitely A. Eat a big spoonful sometime.

The video of the soon-to-be-very-disappointed kid eating a spoonful of drinking chocolate powder just played in my head. And oh, there goes a cinnamon challenge one as well.

I think I'll pass.
