What’s dirt on him ? Sweet n low causes cancer ?
He had Parkinson’s according to the article.
Who knows. A few decades ago a NY senator, Alfonse D'amato, took on Sweet n Low as carcinogenic (it had been in use for almost 100 years.) S n L was pulled off of the market and replaced by aspartame - NutraSweet, Equal. Since then aspartame has been the almost exclusive sugar substitute in soft drinks.
I have always been suspicious of organized crime influence. Chemically aspartame is classed as an excito-toxin; for my part that is all I need to know: excito and toxin. (I am a bit of a simpleton.)
Magically, once S n L was all but forgotten and unknown in soft drinks, it was discovered not to be carcinogenic - safe. Odd how things work out, heh? (Public Supermarkets offers store brand soft drinks with Splenda as a sweetener; Splenda is not an excito-toxin. That is what I buy.)
Another interesting footnote to this bedtime story is that New York Jews subsequently voted D'amato out of office and voted in Chuck Schumer... A true saga!
