Default Carb Intercept Starch Neutralizer

So I found this ad in Prevention magazine for Natrol Carb Intercept.

Try Carb Intercept™ from Natrol. Carb Intercept™ features Phase 2™ Starch Neutralizer, the first nutritional ingredient that has been clinically and scientifically proven to neutralize the starch found in many foods such as potatoes, pasta and breads. Containing a proprietary formula featuring standardized bean extract, it helps to keep carbohydrates from turning to fat.

How Does Carb Intercept™ Work?

Carb Intercept™ is simple to use: Just take with a glass of water before a starch-containing meal. Carb Intercept™ will then "neutralize" the enzyme responsible for converting the starch into glucose (and fat), helping to reduce the absorption of starch calories and allow the carbs to pass through.*


Have you tried this? Would you? I heard that Metabolife is coming out with a similar product. Personally, I like the way I eat just fine, and don't see anything healthy about adding a bunch of junk starch back into my diet. It's probably a load of BS anyway, and I'm not willing to risk it! But I am curious.
