X-Message-Number: 23151 Date: Mon, 22 Dec 2003 18:06:40 -0800 (PST) From: Doug Skrecky <> Subject: 117'th update on fly longevity experiments This is the 117'th update of my fly longevity experiments. Average temperature was 25.2 C during this run. Estimated maximal longevity using the formula (363 - T*11.2) is 81 days. None of the raw vegetables extracts here tested increased average survival. Bitter melon appeared to be mildly toxic. Unfortunately the butternut squash 33% bottle was accidently destroyed.
