Very interesting . I guess the mechanism would be its oxidizing effects?

Ray talked about it a few times in his newsletter and it didn't sound positive.
Also methylglyoxal is a naturally occuring of glycolysis (not oxidative phosphorylation) so it should be higher in unhealthy people . Plus it can be converted into lactate, which is the body's way of detoxing it.

When you read studies on it, it doesn't sound encouraging, it's seen as cause of diabetes and other illnesses.
Shouldn't it be very good for diabetes if it's so pro-metabolic ? Maybe it rises as a defense mechanism .

"...MGO is linked to the development of diabetes, vascular complications of diabetes, and other age-related diseases."

Methylglyoxal is a major cell-permeant precursor of advanced glycation end-products (AGEs), which are associated with several pathologies including diabetes, aging and neurodegenerative diseases.

Then there's this quote by Peat.

@zsoroaszter I just have one that kind of fits nicely on my head, i pull it down to almost cover my eyes, and the back of the beanie fits the back of my head well, down to where my hair ends. I think just having a nice fit is key, if your beanie is too small then it will inevitably fall off in the middle of the night.

Or perhaps you just move too much when you sleep, and in that case I would recommend trying the string thing.
