*Prebiotic - Feeds the good bacteria (bugs) - oligosaccharides (Fibre Sweet) are recognised as the best known prebiotic foods commonly available. The term has only been around for about 10 years when the oligosaccharide range was discovered to be really effective as a food for the good bugs and only the good bugs. This is the criteria for calling it a prebiotic.

This is not the case with other sugar alcohols like Malitol and Sorbitol (used in making sugar-free chocolates) which feed both the good and the bad bugs. The oligosaccharides only feed the good gut flora and in particular they boost the levels of bifidus, lactobacillus and acidophilus.
