And it's made of isotopically labeled or different hydrogen and oxygen.
So it's doubly labeled.
And
Without going into the details of it, you give somebody a drink of this water.
It equilibrates through the body.
You then later collect the urine sample.
You look at the differential rates of excretion of the two isotopes.
And from there, you're able to figure out how much energy was expended.
Because as Lavoisier said, he said it in French, but the translation is, respiration is combustion.
So if you know how much somebody's...
