Subject: 105'th update on fly longevity experiments

    This is the 105'th update of my fly longevity experiments. Average
temperature was 24.5 C during this run. Estimated maximal longevity using
the formula (363 - T*11.2) is 89 days.
    Some toxicity may have been evident in some of the raw zucchini
extracts, as well as high dose carrot in this run. High dose spinach
appeared to provide an advantage, but this still might have been due to
chance.
