minus-squareGraniteM@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up7arrow-down2·edit-24 months agoFrom /r/theydidthemath, six years ago: solpyro An MSDS from naturalsourcing.com for “olive oil grade a” gives an LD50 of >2000mg/kg. (I couldn’t copy the link on mobile, sorry) An average human is around 62kg (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_body_weight) and they would need to ingest over 124g. Olive oil has a density of .918g/cm³ (https://hypertextbook.com/facts/2000/IngaDorfman.shtml) making this dose about 114ml. …which, I’m going to be honest, seems low.

minus-squarejballs@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up7·edit-24 months agoYeah, 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 Oral: Expected to possess a relatively low degree of acute oral toxicity (LD50 expected to be >2000 mg/kg) 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.”
minus-squareherrvogel@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up3·4 months agoThat 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.
