Why it scores 92
Vitafusion Fiber Well Fiber Supplement scores 92 out of 100 (Excellent) under GoodSwap’s published rules. What moved the score most:
- minus 5 points Sucralose: In a 2022 randomized study, sucralose and saccharin altered the gut microbiome and impaired glucose responses in some people; a 2023 lab study raised questions about its by-product sucralose-6-acetate. Strong
- minus 1 points Soluble corn fiber (resistant dextrin): An additive class typical of ultra-processed foods (NOVA group 4). Info
- minus 1 points Xylitol: Large amounts can have a laxative effect; the EU requires a label statement above 10% added polyols and the US for some polyols above set intakes. Regulatory
