Yeah, don't you need close to 7% for your liver and kidneys to function properly?

The healthy ranges in men are from 8-19 percent for those between the ages of 18-39, from 11-21 percent for those aged 40 to 59 and 13-24 percent for those over 60.


Do you trust Dr. Weil?

Most athletes are under 7%. I remember reading three nfl examples a couple years ago- Andre Johnson, Ricky Williams, and AP were all at 4%.

Who ever quoted 9-18% is 'healthy', that is bullshite. Once you get over 12%, your abs cannot show. I'd say for athletes 5-9% is average. For the casual health and fitness nut, 8-12% is average.
