The FDA placed a stay on aspartame approval in 1975 after discovering 'serious shortcomings' in all 15 long-term studies submitted by G.D. Searle. A grand jury investigation was requested but the US Attorney withdrew after considering a job at Searle's law firm. When Rumsfeld (Searle's CEO) helped elect Reagan, the new FDA Commissioner Arthur Hayes approved aspartame within months — against the conclusions of FDA toxicologists and an independent Board of Inquiry. Hayes then left the FDA to join Searle's PR firm.
Aspartame was approved after Searle CEO Donald Rumsfeld used political connections to install a new FDA commissioner who overruled agency scientists
“The FDA commissioner approved aspartame overriding the conclusions of FDA toxicologists and independent experts who found the safety data insufficient.”
