Subject: 149'th update on fly longevity experiments
This is the 149'th update of my fly longevity experiments. Average
temperature was 25.9 C during this run. Estimated maximal longevity using
the formula (363 - T*11.2) is 73 days.
Here I test another coconut product, recheck Ube (frozen this time),
and tyrosine.
No advantage was seen this time with either coconut,or Ube. It is
possible that it is only uncooked Ube is protective. Tyrosine turned
out to be toxic once again.
