believe it or not it actually comes from carbon dioxide. the carbon molecules from the carbon dioxide are fixed in the plant in part of photosynthesis called the Calvin cycle. If you want to see this for yourself there is actually a video online as well asking the same questions to Harvard grads and watching their reactions when they learn the truth.
