How much ‘contaminated’ Coca-Cola can you drink without getting sick? Toxicologist Jan Tytgat: “Depends on how much you weigh”

Toxicologist Jan Tytgat (KU Leuven), together with the Federal Food Agency and Coca-Cola, calculates how much cola you can drink before you can become ill. “Children who weigh less than 12 kilos should not drink a can or bottle.”
