Your survival depends upon the amount of sugar in
your body remaining between certain limits. When you eat
food containing sugar, the necessary calculations are done au-
tomatically. For example, when the amount of sugar in our
blood rises, the pancreas secretes insulin, which commands
the liver and other bodily cells to recover and store the excess
sugar so that it will not reach dangerous levels. Besides con-

such an analysis automatic, for certain cells measure the
blood’s sugar level more precisely than any laboratory could
do and then take the appropriate measures: locate the sugar
in the blood, separate it, and burn it. This is an incomparable
