A student notices that her father (who is trying to lose weight) is drinking a lot of diet Pepsi with the artificial sweetener aspartame. The student has read that aspartame, at high doses, may be a carcinogen. She has read that the FDA recommends no more than 50.0 mg of aspartame per kg of body weight per day. Given that her father weighs 175 pounds, how many cans of diet Pepsi can he “safely” consume per day? (453.6 g/1 pound; 177 mg aspartame/can diet Pepsi)
