                                Nuclear fusion, the process that powers the sun, can release immense amounts of energy—a single kilogram of fusion fuel could provide enough power for an individual's lifetime. However, when it comes to nutrition, a critical scientific distinction must be made: **how much energy do you get from fusion?** The answer is zero, as human bodies run on a different, far less powerful, kind of energy.
