Transcript
Many cans of diet soda do you drink a day? One? 10? A 100? And how many can you drink before it becomes a problem? Well, the FDA's acceptable daily allowance says that you can eat fifty milligrams of aspartame per kilogram of body weight per day better day for the rest of your life with no harmful effects. You weigh eighty kilos, you rank eat this much aspartame every day for the rest of your life, and you'd be totally fine. That's based on decades of research showing that aspartame doesn't cause cancer, brain damage, infertility, or weight gain when consumed at these levels. And to be extra safe, that limit is already set a 100 times lower than the lowest dose shown to cause harm in animal studies. One can of Diet Coke has two hundred milligrams of aspartame. That's this much. So if you weigh eighty kilos, you need to drink 20 cans of diet soda every day just to hit the safety limit. To reach the levels that harmed animals, you need a 100 times that. Three bathtubs full of diet coke. If you try to drink that much, you'd die from water intoxication before the aspartame would hurt you.
