What's the word on Bottle Fillers?

Brewing Beer FAQ - WikiFAQ - Answers to Frequently Asked Que...
Some people Worry (for shame!-) that a bottle filler causes more oxidation (because of spraying through the smaller opening, rather than through the whole opening at the end of the siphon tube, I guess). The solution is to tilt the bottle at the beginning, and stick the end of the bottling wand into the bottom "corner" of the bottle. The wand's end is soon covered with beer, and no amount of spraying will cause any extra air to be mixed in with the beer.

What are 'fillers?

Eagle Pack Pet Foods, Inc.
The answer to that can lead to big arguments. Fillers have no nutritional value. We look at wheat mids and peanut hulls as fillers. Some pet owners consider grains/carbohydrates as fillers. They are not 'fillers' if formulated correctly, i.e. not listed first in the ingredient panel. Used correctly, carbohydrates provide specific nutritional value.
