It's a sugary world!

Bread, potatoes for dinner, logs in the fireplace, fuel for your emotions, a page in your favorite book, frosting on the cake,  the green crest of the hill, an apple's dripping juice, coke, grass, the wooden boat, a horse's hay, the bee cube filled with honey, milk, a winner's driving energy, oak trees, rice for the world's masses.  It's all made from sugar.  Sweet sugar, rigid sugar, no-taste sugar, flowing sugar, sugar crystals, sugar!   One sugar is the basis for all of this.  The same sugar that flows in your blood.  The sugar that drives your thoughts and pushes the runner faster and faster. 

That sugar is GLUCOSE, bound or free.  Bound so that you can digest it.  Bound so that you cannot digest it.  GLUCOSE!  It covers the land.  It powers the fish of the sea.  All plants live of it.  All animals survive on it.  GLUCOSE, probably the most common carbon substance in the world!  GLUCOSE, the foundation of life!  GLUCOSE, the core of cellulose and, therefore, of trees and flowers and grass.  GLUCOSE, that sugar bound in huge numbers in plants and animals as reserve energy.  GLUCOSE, half of the sugar in milk and table sugar.  GLUCOSE, the basis for our genetic development through hundreds of thousands of years.  One of the three simple digestible sugars and the only one in large quantities throughout time.
