To me, this says that they didn’t bother testing any doses higher than that. So, who knows how much you really need to ingest to see an effect. ¯_(ツ)_/¯
That value also seems pretty reasonable, since who would replace the milk of their morning cereal with olive oil.
That doesn’t sound right. 124ml of olive oil will probably do funny things to your shit and make you feel weird, but I very much doubt it’ll kill you unless you inject it straight into your aorta.
The portion makes the poison.
What’s the LD50 of high quality olive oil?
From /r/theydidthemath, six years ago:
…which, I’m going to be honest, seems low.
3.8 ounces? Yikes, that does seem low.
Yeah, 3 shots of olive oil and you’re dead? That can’t be right.
Edit: Yeah it’s not right. Here’s the source the reddit post didn’t link: https://spoonnaturallubricant.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/MSDS_Olive_Oil_Grade_A.pdf
The commenter took that point and used 2000 mg as lethal dose, when the reference material basically said “I dunno, but at it’s more than this.”
It’s “>2000mg/kg”
