It's actually more like 60% I was being facisous Up.to 60% of the human adult body is water. According to H.H. Mitchell, Journal of Biological Chemistry 158, the brain and heart are composed of 73% water, and the lungs are about 83% water. The skin contains 64% water, muscles and kidneys are 79%, and even the bones are watery: 31%.

I was going off of memory. But I looked it up right after my comment and saw that same post. Some organs are much higher, some are lower. It averages out pretty close to 60-70%.

Definitely no 98%
