And thus begins the discussion of the science of regeneration.
Healing injuries doesn't involve a net gain of matter (flesh), however if the troll meat is regenerating missing flesh... Where does the mass come from? If it is "magically created" matter, then Dispell Magic should make that new limb disappear. Does it absorb it from his surroundings? Does it absorb the matter from the adventurer that ate it?

I would say that there is no conservation of mass in D&D worlds.

Hmmm... sounds like someone is going to have to develop a mass-balance equation for Reduce spells/potions and Enlarge spells/potions.

Nah. Nature and science already took care of that. For every ten potions of reduce person some bloke drinks to visit his fairy girlfriend, another gryphon spontaneously bursts into being.
