The first is just its lack of other important vitamins, minerals, and nutrients that you’ll find in natural prebiotics like asparagus, artichokes, bananas, apples, oats, cherries, and garlic, Bragagnini says.
And the second is its inclusion of just one or two isolated types of fiber, either plucked out of a natural source or synthetically derived; for instance, Simply Pop contains soluble corn fiber, Poppi contains inulin (from agave), and Olipop has inulin (from chicory root and Jerusalem artichoke) and resistant dextrin (from cassava root). There’s nothing wrong with any of these, per se—but all the research we have on fiber’s long-term health benefits comes from observing people eating whole fiber-rich foods, which naturally contain a blend of different soluble and insoluble fiber types (the latter of which you won’t find at all in prebiotic sodas and can especially help with regularity). “It’s very hard for us to say that if we pull this one thing out, it’ll have the exact same effect,” Cassetty says. “But we know that when you eat [fibers] as they’re found in nature, they work synergistically.”
