Synopsis
This is the bittersweet story of the Eisenstadt family, centered on patriarch Ben Eisenstadt, who invented the sugar packet and Sweet'N Low after World War II. His immense fortune, built from converting his Brooklyn cafeteria into a factory, ultimately leads to the family's destruction. The author, a disinherited grandson, uncovers the truth of this rancorous history, exploring themes of immigration, business, and the health craze across generations.
