The short answer is most of life on Earth shares some basic levels of chemistry. That doesn't mean it's a perfect fit though, just that human bodies are resilient enough to make due with terrible substitutes at times.

I think if people really understood that anything you eat and drink is also going into your bloodstream we might all be a lot more careful about what we consume.
