Took this from BB.com and was wondering if this would be a good thing to add while on a cut, does it work, has anyone used it with success, what would be the proper way to use it and where could i get some?
Can The Sugar L-Arabinose Inhibit Fat?
Ribose, glucose, fructose, and sucrose are sugars. So is L-arabinose. It is a 5-carbon sugar with a unique property; it inhibits sucrase activity in the intestine. Sucrase is an enzyme that breaks down sucrose (table sugar) into glucose and fructose. If you inhibit sucrase, this should inhibit the breakdown and absorption of sucrose.
In another rat study, the little critters were fed up to 30 grams of sucrose per 100 grams of feed. Researchers added anywhere from 0 to 1.0 grams of L-arabinose per 100 grams feed. The rats ate this sugar brew for 10 days.
The researchers found that lipogenic enzymes (enzymes that build fat) and triglyceride concentrations in the liver went up when the rats consumed sucrose. When arabinose was consumed, these changes did not occur. Arabinose feeding reduced fat weights, plasma insulin and triglycerides.
The Bottom Line:
Arabinose consumption inhibits sucrase activity, reduces sucrose utilization, decreases lipogenesis, and decreases plasma insulin and triglycerides.

Osaki S. et.al. "L-arabinose feeding prevents increases due to dietary sucrose in lipogenic enzymes and triacylglycerol levels in rats." Journal of Nutrition 2001, 131: 796-799.
i understand it's a rat study but was that's why I'm asking board members (who are knowledgeable on this compound) for input.
