    I actually looked this up just for you. Surprisingly low at .3%! While the number of cells are roughly halfish each human and non human, the non human cells weigh so little they only account for around 200 grams of actual weight. Learned something new myself there.

      Wow! I wouldn’t have expected anywhere near that disparity!

      Edit: and thanks for taking the trouble to look it up, too. How did you find that? Was it written somewhere or did you have to do a calculation?
