Subject: 128'th update on fly longevity experiments

    This is the 128'th update of my fly longevity experiments. Average
temperature was 21.1 C during this run. Estimated maximal longevity using
the formula (363 - T*11.2) is 127 days.
    Red ginseng drink and low dose flageolet beans looked a little
interesting this time. The most surprising finding was that raw
pomegranate yielded no benefit. Previous results with (cooked) pomegranate
syrup were consistently positive.
