Water molecules stays in your body for two weeks (and for an even shorter time in a hot climate), the atoms in your bones stays there for a few months. Some atoms stay for years. But almost not one single atom stay with you in your body from cradle to grave.</FONT></p> <P><FONT size="2" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">What is constant in you is not material. An average person takes in 1.5 ton of matter every year as food, drinks and oxygen. All this matter has to learn to be you. Every year. New atoms will have to learn to remember your childhood.</FONT></p> <P><FONT size="2" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">These numbers has been known for half a century or more, mostly from studies of radioactive isotopes.
