[QUOTE="DavidGrahamJones, post: 1925654, member: 245335"] [B]Santorio Santorio[/B] (29 March 1561 – 22 February 1636) concluded after a period of thirty years using a chair-device to weigh himself and everything he ate and drank, as well as his urine and feces that: Insensible Perspiration is either made by the Pores of the Body, which is all over perspirable, and cover’d with a Skin like a Net; or it is [B]performed by Respiration through the Mouth[/B], which usually, in the Space of one Day, amounts to about the Quantity of half a Pound, as may plainly be made appear by breathing upon a Glass. When I realised that what we breath out actually weighs something (obvious really) it all made sense. I would compare the burning of food and pooing and breathing out CO2 akin to burning something and just having smoke and ashes. [/QUOTE]
