Subject: 202'nd update on fly longevity experiments

     This is the 202'nd update of my fly longevity experiments. Average
 temperature was 27.3 C during this run. Estimated maximal longevity using
 the formula (363 - T*11.2) is 57 days.
     In this run low dose wild garlic extract (Bearlic) and methionine
 appeared to be slightly beneficial. These are being followed up in run
 #216.
