The
LD50for sodium cyclamate in mice is 17.0 grams (cyclamate) per kilogram of body weight( LD50is that dose of
a substance that would
be lethal to 50% of a population).
If
a can of diet soda contains 0.085 grams of sodium cyclamate
calculate the number
of cans of diet soda that a 154 lb. human
would have to drink to ingestthe dose of sodium cyclamate equivalent to the LD50for mice.
