In reply to Peter Bray's request for help regarding a former
employee claiming that honey accelerated his tooth decay:
 
Peter, given the long-established antiseptic qualities of
honey, perhaps you could counter-claim that the honey your
employee stole would have actually inhibited his tooth decay
by killing the bacteria responsible. Perhaps Dr Peter Molan
at the University of Waikato, New Zealand,  who has recently
published on the antibacterial properties of honey could help
you?
