      According to WHO, 40mg per kg of body weight is the safe limit.

      Concentration of aspartame in chewing gum samples was between 1.9 and 30.5 μg/g with an average of 11.1 μg/g

      So on average, 3.6kg of chewing gum contains 40mg of aspartame.

      An average human weights around 60kg. So an average human would be within safe limit by chewing 216kg of gum a day. That’s about 475 pounds of gum a day.
