Gut experts warn about risks of consuminginulin, the fiber typically found in prebiotic sodas like Poppi and Olipop.— Kate Murphy,Axios, 1 Apr. 2025Althoughinulincan feed good gut bacteria, Gewirtz says that the byproducts of it (short chain fatty acids) might also help pathogens grow.— ...
Inulin-type fructans resist digestion and function as dietary fiber improving bowel habits. But, unlike most dietary fibers, their colonic fermentation is selective, thus causing significant changes in the composition of the gut microflora with increased and reduced numbers of potentially health-promoting...

A polysaccharide with the general formula C6nH10n+2O5n+1that yields fructose when hydrolyzed and is found in the roots of many plants, especially those of the composite family. It is used as an additive in processed foods to replace fat or sugar and to increase fiber content. ...
Inulin-typefructans, such as Orafti®Inulin, occur naturally in a great number of plants and vegetables, though the chicory root is a particularly wealthy source. As it is extracted through hot water processing, chicory root is of100 % vegetable origin. After extraction, purification takes place...

Inulin and oligofructose are naturally occurring resistant carbohydrates that have a variety of uses as functional food ingredients. In addition to their role as prebiotics that selectively stimulate the growth of beneficial bacteria in the intestines, these inulin-type fructans act as dietary fiber in...
Inulin is a widely used model prebiotic dietary fiber. Inconsistent reports on the effects of inulin on cholesterol homeostasis have emerged in humans and preclinical models. To clarify this issue, the present study aimed to provide an in-depth characterization of the effects of short-chain (sc)...
