Fruit sugar, the storage form of sunshine?

[BingDing]

I saw this awhile back and it kinda knocked me out.

Cellular respiration, so near and dear to us all, is

glucose + O2 => CO2 + H2O + energy

But reverse the reaction and you get

CO2 + H2O + energy => glucose + O2

That is photosynthesis!

Pretty cool, eh?

Ray told me this was exactly what got him thinking of a fruit-centric diet.

Kick ****, bradley, thanks for that.

I can't help but think in terms of co-evolution. And I love supporting the notion that sugar is good!

I was reminded of this chart I saw on Rob Turners site.
