For a 165 lb person, you would need to drink about 21 cans of Diet Coke per day to reach the FDA's safe daily limit of aspartame. This threshold is well below toxic levels, as the ADI includes a significant safety margin.To actually get sick (e.g., nausea, headaches) from aspartame alone, you'd likely need to consume far beyond the ADI, which is impractical for most people. Drinking this much Diet Coke would likely cause issues from overconsumption of fluids and caffeine long before aspartame toxicity occurs.
