9 to 14 cans of diet soda per day? I could see how safe those limits are but I could also easily think of a lot of people nowadays who could easily surpass those. By then there would be a lot of other stuff they're already consuming that could also be detrimental to their health.

That's daily, like every day drinking that much.

And that's just when it starts to be a health risk. As in non-zero, but still low.

And that's if you are 158 lbs.
