I see no reason not to integrate these two articles, provided that some reference is still given to the synonymous nature of the two names, and a redirect option is given. --Alwaysasigh 08:50, 5 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

help those researching information FIND what they are looking for[edit]

I plugged in "Oliofructose" into wikipedia, only to come up with that cannot find search page. yet when I plugged into a seach engine, the wikipedia artcle appears! While the entry is labled Fructooliogosaccharide, the article also acknowledges that it is also sometimes called Oligofructose. If opensource and open information is to be useful, you need to do things as well as the MS and other products. Please put in multiple pointers for searhed terms, acknowledging that sometimes there are multiple terms used. THANKS.

98.204.81.31 (talk) 21:18, 24 February 2008 (UTC)Article is self contradictory. Early paragraph states FOS derived from inulin are beta 2-1 linkage whereas later it infers they are beta 1-2.[reply]

Isn't it vegetarian?[edit]

The Food Sources section lists only plant sources:

FOS is extracted from fruits and vegetables like bananas, onions, chicory root, garlic, asparagus, barley, wheat, jícama, tomatoes, and leeks. The Jerusalem artichoke and its relative, yacón have been found to have the highest concentrations of FOS of cultured plants

But the very last line of the article, after the Types of Carbohydrates table, says:

It [?] is derived from an animal product therefore not suitable for vegetarians.

Any reason not to delete the line? Epikoros (talk) 17:07, 8 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

"Health benefits" section is apparently totally wrong[edit]

I searched what is FOS when I saw it into the ingredients of my biscuits. I was expecting it is unhealthy, so what a surprise when I read there it has health benefits. This is Wikipedia and I'm not stupid, thus I continued my researched and found that EFSA disclaimed everything about FOS. Food industries are even forbidden to write on their products the benefits it was supposed to give. I suggest it should be deleted, or at least edited to warn people that all of this is now considered wrong by EFSA. Here is a link : http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.2903/j.efsa.2011.2023/epdf. You can indirectly find it by typing "EFSA FOS" in your favourite search engine.

PS : Sorry for my eventual spelling mistakes, I'm not English. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2A01:CB08:8640:4000:7D19:1588:A1B6:9F59 (talk) 17:57, 6 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
