[10] However, cats are less prone to eating chocolate since they are unable to taste sweetness. [11] Theobromine is less toxic to rats and mice, who all have an LD 50 of about 1,000 mg/kg (0.016 oz/lb).
Tolerable weekly intake (TWI) estimates the amount per unit body weight of a potentially harmful substance or contaminant in food or water that can be ingested over a lifetime without risk of adverse health effects. [1] [2] TWI is generally preceded by "provisional" to indicate insufficient data exists, increasing uncertainty. [3]
