The LD50 for sodium
cyclamate ( a sugar substitute) in
mice is 17.0 g cyclamate per kilogram
of body weight (LD50 is that dose of a substance that would be lethal for 50% of a population). Calculate the number of cans of diet soda that a 70 Kg (154 lb) human would have to drink to reach this dose. Each can of diet soda contains 0.085 grams of sodium cyclamate.
