Sorry, I can't let this one go. The silly statement above is the same kind of
medieval alchemy that purported to "transmute" lead to gold. One CANNOT
transmute elements like Si and Ca!!! Other than normal atomic decay (only
heavy elements) ie: uranium to lead, transmutation is a fantasy. I think the
writer is mistaking metabolic (ie digestion and use of molecules) processes
for "transmutation".
