    We don’t. It’s been studied for decades and all they could come up with was that “in massive quantities it’s possible it might cause cancer”. Which is shit. Everything in massive quantities breaks something.

      It’s not recommended to intake more than 40mg per day per kilo of body weight. For a kid that could be two cans of coke.

      I hope no one is giving their kid two cans of coke in a day, but I bet you a thousand pounds that they are.
