Referring to LD50 is insane, isn't it? LD10 is plenty for me never touch it outside of a life threatening emergency.

- fbdab103 3y agoSure, but you have to pick a threshold somewhere. Going with the median seems likely to be the most robust measurement. Which is to say, no, I would not feel comfortable consuming the equivalent LD49 of a substance. It is an order of magnitude estimate to give you a sense of toxicity. Which in the case of caffeine - is so high that it is nearly impossible for a healthy individual to consume that much accidentally.
