    The thing is, how would the companies know you're paid to do this, instead of perhaps just being an overzealous employee? Not like this service is going to disclose who is working …

    what for? sugar is already broken down in your body into glucose to be absorbed. there are already enzymes you can take to help break it down faster, but it's all going to be absor…
