Harrison Horblit, “100 Books Famous in Science”. Grolier Club, 1964 was the topic of an earlier blog post.

Jean Brillat-Savarin, ” The Physiology of Taste”, 1825 also was the topic of an earlier blog post.

Diana Elder, Nicole Dyer & Robin Wirthlin, “Research Like a Pro with DNA,

2021 also was the topic of an earlier blog post.

Here I present: Arthur Guyton & John Hall, “Textbook of Medical Physiology”, 9th Edition, 1996; and, it is a “book famous in science” of physiology.

Table 71-3, “Content in Grams of a 70 kilogram Man”, page 899 is shown below. The amount is not 70,000 grams; but, 69,164.014 grams. Rounding off the value in front of the decimal point gives 69,164 grams. BLUE-COLOR line shows my addition “Nucleic Acid” to the Table 71-3 of Professor Arthur Guyton. Now I am able to use this table in the context of DNA/RNA of nucleic acids.

Water 60%

Fat 16%

Protein 16%

Minerals 6%

Nucleic Acid 1%

Carbohydrate 1%

Total 100%

The above is the standard model used in “Physiological Chemistry”: 70 kilograms weight; with percentages (given above) water, fat, protein, minerals, “nucleic acid” & carbohydrate.

“Seventy Kilogram Man (SKM) is the gold standard of physiology textbooks.

Diana Elder, Nicole Dyer & Robin Wirthlin, “Research Like a Pro with DNA, 2021 was the topic of an earlier blog post.

Here I presented Arthur Guyton & John Hall, “Textbook of Medical Physiology”, 9th Edition, 1996 which contains Table 71-3, “Content in Grams of a 70 kilogram Man”, on page 899. I included the 1% or 1 kilogram nucleic acid (BLUE COLOR) on my version of the table in the context of this blog post.

The 1% or 1 kilogram of nucleic acid DNA of humans is used in saliva samples. These test results are easy to follow for those interpreting “DNA-centered” nutrition results from: 23&me, Ancestry, Family Tree, Living DNA, Nebula Genomics; or, MyHeritage. Above I show the table of “Daily Allowances”; and, I list the values below (shown on food labels by law).
