Subject: 108'th update on fly longevity experiments
This is the 108'th update of my fly longevity experiments. Average
temperature was 25.3 C during this run. Estimated maximal longevity using
the formula (363 - T*11.2) is 80 days.
Here I retest oxymol, and pomegranate, and look to see if product
freshness had any impact on the benefits previously shown by these two
food supplements.
To my great surprise no consistant effect of product freshness on
survival was demonstrated. Whatever the active ingrediants are, they must
be very stable indeed. As previously shown in run #98, oxymol again beat
pomegranate, with the 2 tsp dose being somewhat more effective than 1
tsp.
