S. Daniel Abraham, a onetime traveling salesman who started a line of weight-loss products led by the popular Slim-Fast diet drinks and who later used his fortune as a major Democratic political donor and supporter of Middle East peace efforts, died June 29 at a hospital in New York. He was 100.Yeshiva University, where Mr. Abraham was an honorary trustee, announced the death in a statement. Although Mr. Abraham was not widely known to Slim-Fast customers, he had a prominent place in a chapter of modern American consumer culture as millions of people turned to calorie-stingy meals such as Lean Cuisine and programs including Weight Watchers to shed pounds.Mr. Abraham entered the weight-loss market after tiring of his sales job trekking door to door peddling an anti-itch ointment and an antacid called Gas Tabs. Seeking to strike out on his own, he led a family purchase in 1947 of Thompson Medical Co., a small pharmaceutical firm in Western Pennsylvania with $5,000 in annual sales.Get Starting PointA guide through the most important stories of the morning, delivered Monday through Friday.Enter EmailSign UpAbout a decade later, Thompson introduced a benzocaine-based gum, Slim-Mint, marketed as an appetite suppressant.

The Slim-Fast powdered shakes hit shelves the following year.AdvertisementSlim-Fast marketing grew more aggressive under his direction as competition swelled. Diet pills and supplements of all kinds - based on fiber, grapefruit extract, and even one that contained freeze-dried cow brains - entered the market.The flood of products in the 1980s led the Food and Drug Administration to expand reviews and sharpen guidance to consumers. “There’s always someone one step ahead of us dreaming up the next crazy thing to knock off pounds,” the FDA’s over-the-counter drug chief, Dennis Myers, told The New York Times in 1986.AdvertisementMr. Abraham recruited celebrity promoters such as Los Angeles Dodgers manager Tommy Lasorda, who claimed in TV ads that he lost 30 pounds drinking Slim-Fast shakes for breakfast and lunch and then having a “healthy” dinner. “Even pasta,” Lasorda said in a 1989 ad. “This is the first time I ever lost anything and felt good about it.”Dietitians and health researchers questioned the long-term nutritional risks of products such as Slim-Fast, whose powdered drinks had about 200 calories and included a range of vitamins and protein but were relatively high in sugar. Dieters seemed pleased with the results, and Slim-Fast sales climbed steadily.Mr. Abraham sold Slim-Fast to the consumer products giant Unilever for $2.3 billion in 2000. The SlimFast line, which dropped the hyphen and is now owned by the Ireland-based nutrition company Glanbia, has faced recent challenges along with other traditional weight-loss products as consumers turn to Ozempic, which is in a class of drugs called GLP-1 for glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor agonists.After the sale, Mr. Abraham increasingly turned to politics and foreign affairs. He gave millions of dollars to Democratic groups and political action committees, including the Priorities USA Action super PAC that backed Hillary Clinton’s unsuccessful presidential bid in 2016.Former president Bill Clinton wrote the foreword in Mr. Abraham’s 2006 book, “Peace Is Possible,” which examined possible paths to end the Arab-Israeli conflict. Mr. Abraham also reflected on his experiences as an American Jew living in Israel in the 1970s and his time as an Army infantryman in World War II.Advertisement“I lived in fox holes. I saw my buddies get killed,” he told the Sun-Sentinel newspaper in 2010. “The horrors of war are unbelievable. It’s not the way to solve problems.” In Washington, Mr. Abraham founded the Center for Middle East Peace, which promoted his views in favor of a two-state solution. He said a separate Palestinian state is necessary to ensure that Israel can remain a Jewish-led nation.Saul Daniel Abraham was born in Long Beach, N.Y., on Aug. 15, 1924, and raised in an Orthodox Jewish household in his hometown on Long Island. His father was a dentist, and his mother assisted local Jewish groups.After Mr. Abraham finished Army service, he worked for an uncle’s drug company before acquiring Thompson Medical.Mr. Abraham and the former Estanne Weiner moved to Israel with their children in 1970 and stayed until 1978, a period that included a war in October 1973 that began with a surprise attack on Israel by neighboring Arab states.In academia, Mr. Abraham’s contributions included endowing a chair in Middle East policy studies at Princeton University, funding a center for international and regional studies at Tel Aviv University, and a school for business administration at Israel’s Bar-Ilan University. Mr. Abraham’s first marriage ended in divorce. He married Ewa Sebzda in 1996, and they had two children. He also leaves four daughters from his first marriage; 27 grandchildren; and 34 great-grandchildren.In December 2023, when Mr. Abraham was 99, he was accused of sexual harassment by his former executive assistant, Beth Sugerman, in a complaint filed in Manhattan Supreme Court.
