There are 1,000 milligrams (mg) in one gram:
In 10 grams, there are 10 x 1,000 = 10,000 milligrams. This is a lethal dose of caffeine.
There are 4.05 mg/oz (milligrams/ounce) of caffeine in the soda.
In a 12 ounce can, there are 4.05 x 12 = 48.6 milligrams.
How many sodas would it take to kill you?
To find this, we divide the lethal dose amount (10,000 mg) by the amount of caffeine per can (48.6 mg).
10,000 ÷ 48.6 = 205.76.
Since 205 cans is not quite 10,000 mg, technically it would take 206 cans of soda to consume a lethal dose of caffeine.
