It was approved in the early 1980s after intense lobbying efforts by Donald Rumsfeld when he worked as CEO for the pharmaceutical company GD Searle. Rumsfeld is said to have engineered the firing of the FDA commissioner who had held up aspartame’s release following studies showing possible links to brain cancer."
