The DNA fact needs a citation.

Yeah I was going to say it looks conceivably false, then I noticed I copied it in from another WP article somewhere, but I don't know where now. So I'm just removing it until it can be verified. I'm not an expert enough in the subject to support it myself. Here is the removed bit: "Metabolic pathways are a series of biochemical reactions which are, as a whole, irreversible. If the biochemical reactions involved in this process were reversible, we would convert our own DNA back to food molecules if we stop eating even for a short period of time." - Taxman Talk 00:37, 26 April 2006 (UTC)
Perhaps 'entropically driven' as opposed to 'thermodynamically driven' could use a reference, too (since I've not a clue what it means). Geologist 23:22, 21 April 2007 (UTC)
