The water in the sugar syrup might not be enough to maintain hydration.  Or maybe it is?  I do not know.  

It is not,  they actually do a bit better with 15% water added to the syrup.  I am still experimenting with higher water levels.  15% is as High as I have tested,  but there is a clear difference in the weight loss. Time permitting this summer I will play with other ratios.
