"The glucose lowers the freezing temperature of water inside the frogs' 
cells, and because of this, the cells stay liquid, even as ice fills the 
space around them. This is crucial: If the water inside the cells froze, 
scientists say, the jagged ice crystals would destroy everything inside, 
killing the frog."
