Retracted at last! - Fructooligosaccharides are NOT naturally present in human milk! Fructose and Fucose are NOT the same! This comes after our letter in 2022 pointed out that "Fructooligosaccharides are not the same as Fucosylated Human Milk Oligosaccharides" www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles...
Retraction notice from Advances in Nutrition to retract Cosmi et al. "Fructooligosaccharides: From Breast Milk Components to Potential Supplements. A Systematic Review" - Article contained wrong and misleading information.
