Original Note:
Donald Rumsfeld was the CEO of G. D. Searle. His influence & connections likely facilitated the approval of Aspartame. It is an additive found in diet sodas. FDA scientists do not have safety concerns when aspartame is used under the approved conditions. https://www.factcheck.org/2023/10/no-proven-health-risks-from-aspartame-but-also-no-proven-benefits/ https://oawhealth.com/article/how-aspartame-became-legal-the-timeline/ https://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/322266 https://www.fda.gov/food/food-additives-petitions/aspartame-and-other-sweeteners-food https://www.cancer.org/cancer/risk-prevention/chemicals/aspartame.html https://www.cancerresearchuk.org/about-cancer/causes-of-cancer/cancer-myths/do-artificial-sweeteners-cause-cancer
