Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Acceptable Daily Intake (ADI) for aspartame, set by the FDA, is 50 milligrams per kilogram of body weight. For a 150-pound (approximately 68 kilograms) adult, this translates to 3400 milligrams of aspartame per day. Given that a typical can of soft drink contains about 180 milligrams of aspartame, Nina could safely consume up to 18.9 cans per day, rounding to the nearest whole number gives 20 cans per day.
