X-Message-Number: 28757 Date: Thu, 21 Dec 2006 13:09:40 -0800 (PST) From: 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.
