Maltitol Syrup
Flagged in 2
Scout's take
Maltitol syrup is the liquid form of the sugar alcohol maltitol, with a higher glycemic index than solid maltitol and greater absorption rate. It is well-documented to cause significant gastrointestinal distress including bloating, gas, and diarrhea, especially at the 6g sugar alcohol level in this product.
The case against
Causes significant gastrointestinal distress. Higher glycemic response than other sugar alcohols. Liquid form absorbs faster than solid maltitol.
