Subject: 55'th update on fly longevity experiments

    This is the 55'th update of my fly longevity experiments. All bottles
contain 1/4 tsp citric acid as a standard additive. Recorded average
temperature during the experiment was 25.5 C.
    I used the same breeding bottle, as the previous run. However quite a
few flies had since died in this bottle, which did not have antiviral soy
protein in it. The control results again confirm that these flies are not
very healthy.
    The benefits noted in the tansy, and tarragon bottles I beleive to be
due to an antiviral effect.
    In the next run the effect of both rice protein and citric acid are
tracked.
