You haven't been paying attention in
Organic chemistry
Because you forgot about
Chirality. Many molecules that are the building blocks of life, like amino acids and sugars, have non-superimposable mirror images - a "left-handed" and "right-handed" version. On earth, amino acids are "left-handed" versions of these molecules, and cannot be swapped for the "right-handed" version. Similarly, sugars are "right-handed", and the body is unable to process sugars that are "left-handed". When you go to the mirror universe, your body will be unable to process these molecules of different chirality, so you will be unable to survive indefinitely.
During your brief visit to the mirror world, though, you may be amused by the oranges that smell like lemons and the spearmint that smells like caraway. Don't take mirror ibuprofen for a headache, though, since it'll be totally inactive in your body!
