And when I started thinking about all these complex sugars that are like this foliage on our cells, it became one of the most interesting problems that I encountered as a biologist and also as a chemist.

And so now we tend to think about the sugars that are populating the surface of our cells as a language.

I can tell you that we do know some information that comes from these sugars, and it's turned out already to be incredibly important in the world of medicine.

For example, one thing your sugars are telling us is your blood type.

So your blood cells, your red blood cells, are coated with sugars, and the chemical structures of those sugars determine your blood type.

But for those of you who share the blood type O with me, what this means is that we have this chemical structure on the surface of our blood cells: three simple sugars linked together to make a more complex sugar.

And by knowing what your blood type is, we can make sure, if you ever need a transfusion, that your donor has the same blood type, so that your body doesn't see foreign sugars, which it wouldn't like and would certainly reject.

What else are the sugars on the surface of your cells trying to tell us?

Well, those sugars might be telling us that you have cancer.

And what was discovered from studies like that is that the sugars have changed when the cell transforms from being healthy to being sick.

Why do cancers have different sugars?

And I think this is going to be one of the most important sugars of our times, so I would encourage everybody to get familiar with this word.

Those are different sugars.

Now what does this have to do with sugars?

So in closing, let me just remind you again: your cells are coated with sugars.

The sugars are telling cells around that cell whether the cell is good or bad.

But once in a while, cancers get the ability to express these new sugars.

And now that we understand how those sugars mesmerize the immune system, we can come up with new medicines to wake up those immune cells, tell them, "Ignore the sugars, eat the cell and have a delicious snack, on cancer."

In order for trees to grow, they need to bring sugars obtained from photosynthesis and nutrients brought in through the root system to wherever growth is happening.

Containing the sugars generated in leaves during photosynthesis, phloem sap is thick, like honey, and flows down the plant’s phloem tissue to distribute sugar throughout the tree.

So you come from air, and it's because of photosynthesis, because what plants do is they use the energy in sunlight, take that CO2 and fix it into sugars.

We have to help the plants a little ourselves, because what plants like to do is put most of the CO2 into sugars.

It starts to release the sugars trapped in the starch.

The sugars in the dough caramelize in the crust.

Enzymes are breaking forth sugars.

Bacteria is in there, eating the same sugars, turning them into acids.

To get a sense of how substances flow through this network, let’s zoom in on sugars, as they travel from a mature tree to a neighboring seedling.

The leaves use the ample sunlight up there to create sugars through photosynthesis.

Fungi cannot produce sugars, though they need them for fuel just like trees do.

That means that the sugars flow from the tree roots into the fungal hyphae.
