"Carbo-blockers" from the '70s

[SofaGeorge]

Back in the 1970s there was a big national hoopla about a new class of diet supplements that were called "Carbohydrate Blockers." (These are NOT the same products that are being sold as carbo blockers today.) They were highly effective... in fact too effective. They were taken off the market because they so effectively blocked the conversion of carbohydrates that the FDA/NFO (whomever) decided they dangerously reduced carbohydrate consumption.

Does anyone know the compound that was used in the carbo blocker formulas back in the '70s?
