Subject: 233'rd update on fly longevity experiments

     This is the 233'rd update of my fly longevity experiments. Average
 temperature was 26.0 C during this run. Estimated maximal longevity using
 the formula (363 - T*11.2) is 72 days.
     This run is a mixed bag. I once again retested Q-Gel CoQ10, and
 cyclamate, but also tried some new items such as boswellic acid, and maca
 as well. Q-Gel looked like it might best the controls for awhile, but
 failed in the last inning. Cyclamate looked like a dud for most of this
 run, but in the end outlasted everything else. Neither boswellic acid nor
 maca offered any benefit.
