How human are we ?

@GuyWithOpinions yes, but we are also water, bacteria, viruses and fungi and other non human cells, AS well as muscle, neurons, blood, tendons and stuff.

I was just wondering, percentage-wise, how much of all that package is human cells?🤷‍♀

@OogieBoogie all of it. You cant put cow bacteria in a human stomach. You cant take ostrich muscle tissue and put it in a human leg.

@GuyWithOpinions i dont thonk you're understanding what im trying to communicate.
Im not talking about the food we eat, im talking about all the beneficial bacteria, (like our microbiome), that is essential for our body to run on.

We have bacteria and micro-organiamss all through our body -
- on surfaces
- in various holes
- in the entirety of our digestive system...
....theres like thousands of species essential to hormone production, energy regualtion etc.

There's 30 trillion human cells, and like 39 trillion bacteria cells in the human body.

Honestly - i just wanted a summation of the math 🤷‍♀

@OogieBoogie well your cells work together to fight off foreign materials so the other 9 trillion cells would have to come from eating them or absorbing them through your skin.

Every cell in your body is authentically yours. We even have our own finger print and blood type.

@GuyWithOpinions Actually, thats not necessarily so.
Our body adds bacteria and viruses to itself when we come in contact with other people, animals, food, surfaces etc.

We do it our entire life.

If we go to another country, eat differnt food - our microbiome changes.
If we limit what we eat, where we go, what we come in contact with - our microbiome can lose hundreds of species.

There is no "other 9 trillion" cells.

I truly think you are not understanding what im saying
