>Fat cells are replaced at the rate of about 10% per year in adults. So you could say that on average, human beings replace all their fat cells about every ten years.
Oh god, the math.... it burns....

>All that philosophical talk about "is it really me anymore if all my cells are replaced" is just useless.

You don't go down to Walmart and buy new cells.
Every cell in your body is the result of mitosis (or meiosis), and can be traced back to the original zygote.

Seriously, who didn't know this at the very latest in 6th grade?
