X-Message-Number: 22545 Date: Fri, 19 Sep 2003 10:57:40 -0700 (PDT) From: Doug Skrecky <> 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.
