I think what he means is that there are a bunch of things the rest of the world finds unsafe that the USA lets slide because of big money and lobbyist. For example GMO corn and NutraSweet in milk, it doesn't hurt to have the former pres of Monsanto as the new comish of the FDA. Fuck they're putting NutraSweet in baby food now and trying to get a law passed so that they don't have to fucking put it on the god damn label.
I read an article once that claimed "sugar" if it were just discovered and a new product wouldn't be fit or safe for human consumption, I'm sure that's an exaggeration but you see what I mean

Artificial sweeteners have not been shown in any legitimate scientific studies to be harmful unless ingested in very large volumes which would be unrealistic for any human to consume.
Protip: anything is pretty much a "poison" if ingested in the right quantity.
