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 absorbed regardless.

perhaps what you really want is something to block glucose absorption?



You could invent resistant bacteria that eats all the sugar in your stomach. There are already such but they are lethal if you don't do much about them, but maybe it is possible to make nice versions of them that just eats sugar and don't kill you by eating everything.


Ehm, we humans need a certain amount of blood sugar to survive. Having such a resistant bacteria living in my stomach seems a terrible idea ..


Sure, humans need a certain amount of blood sugar but don't need any amount of dietary sugar.
