Pretty insignificant...

Average mass of one human cell is #10^-12kg# or 1 ng.

If 50 to 70 billion cells die in an average per day and if this loss in uncompensated,

#"Total mass lost" = 5times10^9times10^-12 " TO "7times10^9times10^-12#

#=0.05kg " To " 0.07kg# per day.

Average human weighs 70 kg.

So, percentage lost :
#0.05/70*100 " TO " 0.07/70*100#

#=>0.0714% " to " 0.1%# of our totally body mass per day is losy.
