Thanks for the feeback everyone. It seems the only way to know for sure is to try this stuff myself. I just hate the thought that I might make someone richer who is making bogus product claims as is so common in the supplements industry.
I still would like to verify that I should expect to have a very low blood sugar if I were to ingest a large amount of ala/r-ala without having enough carbs in my system. To me this would "prove" something.
