Lactic acid is a byproduct of muscle tissue and some bacteria, i.e. Shewanella, can convert it into electricity. Just a thought.

Installing bio-batteries that use this glucose isn't a bad idea. We already put excess energy into our systems, so we wouldn't have to adopt new diets to fuel them. Other problems could be caused, however, if their use of glucose doesn't fit into the body's normal response curves - we could also introduce a whole new set of diet-related issues. #bloodbatteries

Conversely, if the device were able to convert energy back into blood sugar it might be a viable alternative to coffee in the morning. #bloodbatteries

It'd be a device that is powered by glucose to process glucose.... #bloodbatteries

From the limited amount I know about yeast, I don't believe they produce anything that our livers can't handle. #bloodbatteries

Considering the fear/joy which resulted from a simple math equation like E=mc², we should think on this one.
...never mind "The Matrix", fear Exxon. #bloodbatteries

I'm pretty sure I'm not alone here, but I for one would certainly pay good money for a device that charges batteries and intoxicates at the same time. #bloodbatteries
