Authorship

This sounds like it was written by an industry person. It has many sources, but it definitely needs to be wikified. Valerie (talk) 18:45, 13 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Similarity to human milk OS

The oligosaccharides described here have little, if any similarity to human milk. This is simply a ploy to sell a certain product.

In human milk there are few Gal(b1-4) linkages and there is nearly always glucoseamine and fucose 90.130.227.49 (talk) 08:43, 9 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Galactan? Raffinose?

What's the relationship with Galactan, which is also a galactose polymer?

Also, looking at the FODMAP diet which restricts galactooligosaccharides (GOS), I get the impression that the diet classes raffinose as a GOS. That's found naturally in beans, broccoli, and other veg... I started to add those as a natural source of GOS, but raffinose contains other saccharides, so I don't know whether it's strictly true that it's a galactooligosaccharide.

In any case, a section on dietary sources is needed. --Chriswaterguy talk 08:11, 7 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Relationship to WP:MED

I've added the WP:WPMED template given the health claims in the lede. I have serious concerns about those claims, but need to review appropriate reliable sources to determine whether significant changes to this article need to be made. -- Scray (talk) 04:53, 14 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Classified as a FODMAP by Monash University.

Under the FODMAP and flatulence section, you wrote:

"For this reason, they are not classed as FODMAPs and should not be restricted on the low-FODMAP diet,[citation needed]"

However, in its Low FODMAP Diet For Irritable Bowel Syndrome blog, Monash University says:

"[FODMAP diet app] combines two common oligosaccharides that are poorly absorbed and can trigger IBS symptoms, the fructans and galacto-oligosaccharides (GOS)."
