and provided more information than I wanted to know about methylglyoxal!

Very slow I think - took me a while to read it - and I am not sure that I 
really know now whether it is a good or bad thing.  However, since there are 
large quantities in toast, coffee and soy sauce, can we assume that treating 
wounds with an inexpensive poultice made of toast (we used to use bread 
poultices) soaked in coffee and soy sauce would be as effective as manuka 
honey?  Perhaps a UTCSF instead of UMF is now needed!

Best wishes
