                                Scientific research suggests that plants use photosynthesis to naturally deplete deuterium, transferring higher concentrations to sugars and starches, which means that low-carbohydrate, green leafy vegetables tend to be the most depleted of deuterium. The key lies in understanding how plants and different food components handle this heavy hydrogen isotope.
