Instead, they act as simple bulking agents that pass through you like a ghost. You get the label claim—"Contains 6g of Prebiotic Fiber"—but your microbiome gets zero benefit.

One study published in Cell noted that in certain individuals with a sensitive gut, high doses of these QuackPreb ingredients caused not health, but inflammation. You aren’t selectively feeding the good guys; you’re throwing a pizza party for every microbe in the neighborhood, including the rowdy ones. The most cunning QuackPreb trick is the rebranding of cheap starches. You have likely seen "resistant wheat starch" or "tapioca fiber" on a label. These are often industrial byproducts of food manufacturing. These are digested so quickly in the upper
