So, we were starting to look at how simple molecules like sugars
get across these fatty acid membranes, you know, spontaneously without any help from fancy proteins — and it turned out completely unexpectedly that
ribose, which is one of the building blocks of RNA,
gets across a wide range of membranes much more quickly than a set of very closely related sugars.
So it makes you think that, well, maybe that could have been one contributing factor to why we actually use genetic materials that incorporate
ribose, because early cells that relied on an external source of
ribose would have had easier access to that material compared to competing the cells that we're looking for, a different sugar that had a harder time
getting across the membrane.

You can
get ribose from food in small amounts, but if you're looking to fuel longer workouts or «peak - performance» exercise sessions, you'll likely use more than the body has immediately available and possibly run out of gas mid-workout or «bonk» as they say in the cycling world.
To
get more fuel for exercise when you need it, here are the basics on
ribose, plus two super simple recipes so you can make you own healthy sports drink:
Ribose is a simple sugar we
get from food which enables the body to make, store and release energy.
It may involve using hydrazine sulfate, Methyl - Sulphonal - Methane (which helps flush out the lactic acid), D -
Ribose (to
get the energy to the non-cancerous cells), Vitamin C (ditto), etc. etc..
