Re: Krebs cycle?

[Lif Strand <fasterhorses@gilanet.com>]

So let me see if I'm getting this.

Various "fuels" (carbohydrates & fats... are these the FFAs & VFAs that
are being talked about?) are processed to create ATP, which is the
source of energy.  This is called the Krebs cycle.  But the Krebs cycle
occurs aerobically, and anaerobic work causes the Krebs cycle to be
"bypassed" and instead lactic acid is formed.  Which can be used
anaerobically, but not aerobically.  Yes?  No?

Now, *if* this is roughly what is going on, is what Tom is talking about
a method that bypasses the Krebs cycle, but *doesn't* produce lactic
acid?  Am I even getting warm here?  Lif
