    It is very strange combination of ingredients which works as antagonists. Propolis suppress action of MGO and decrease its concentration in honey.

    How does propolis suppress MGO? Berringa and manuka honeys whoch contain MGO also contain many of the factors in propolis, and MGO is active in these honey matrices?
