Human-mouse conversion ratio is 1:12.3, so about 6g a day. I easily eat a gram if I drink a ton of coffee.

Thank you to share! Where does that ratio come from? Please educate us.
The human-mouse equivalent dose ratio/interspecies allometric scaling is a foundational topic in exploratory pharmacological studies. You can find information f.e. in "A simple practice guide for dose conversion between animals and human".
