The information given below comes from an ad for a genuine product that you can purchase, use your understanding of carbohydrate digestion and metabolism to write your analysis (no more than 150 words) concerning the veracity of the content of this ad. You may want to dig up some additional background material to support your arguments, but if so note that Wikipedia does not count


Carbo Grabbers with Chromium (60 Capsules)
Stock Number: 3070-7

Benefits:
Helps reduce the conversion of some starches to calories.
May help reduce available calories.
Minimizes the need to entirely avoid certain favored foods.
Helps the body’s efforts to maintain blood sugar levels already within the normal range.

How It Works:
Carbo Grabbers contains an amylase inhibitor derived from northern white kidney beans, which may help reduce the calories available to your body. It naturally and safely interferes with the digestion of starchy carbohydrates. Because the enzymatic breakdown of some dietary starch may be inhibited, these undigested starches can be carried through the intestinal tract where the body can eliminate them. This makes avoiding carbohydrates—a common practice among some dieters—a thing of the past!
We added 18 mg of patented, food-bound chromium per serving. Chromium helps transport glucose from the blood into the cells. This means Carbo Grabbers provides additional help toward maintaining blood sugar levels already within the normal range. Chromium may also have a positive effect on blood fat levels.

Ingredients:
18 mg chromium (15% of Daily Value) and white kidney bean extract.

Recommended Use:
Take 1–2 capsules up to three times daily before eating foods high in carbohydrates. Do not take in combination with digestive enzymes that contain proteases.
