The question of the month for me is this: “If you take all the carbon out of sugar, what do you have left?”
Those who actually know biochemistry tell me it depends, but that basically one would be left with nothing but a collection of H and O atoms in some configuration. I say, “Water” because I don’t really know what I’m talking about.
What spawns such a silly question is an even sillier label on this bag of sugar I bought last week.
I know what is meant, but context is everything, and this being a bag of sugar, a CARBOhydrate par excellence, I could not help but be amused.
I wonder if Dr. Atkins would approve?
