THE BOOT LIST ITEM #61
Hydrogenated Starch Hydrolysates (HSHs), also known as polyglycitol syrup (INS 964), are mixtures of several sugar alcohols derived from corn, potato, or wheat starch. The combination of these sugar alcohols provide a very similar taste to table sugar. Manufacturers also use this ingredient to retain moisture and prevent crystallization in some syrups. The common health concerns for HSHs are glycemic impact, digestive impacts like diarrhea and gas, and even weight gain. Be sure to always check those nutritional labels and research ingredients your unsure of.
