Subject: 65'th update on fly longevity experiments
This is the 65'th update of my fly longevity experiments. Average
temperature was 20.6 C during this run. Here I test out 1/4 tsp paprika
again, and look for any synergism between the life expectancy benefits of
paprika with other supplements.
As before, 1/4 tsp paprika again increased life expectancy. Of the
combinations, only cinnamon, anmd glucose appeared to offer any further
benefit. Doubling the dosage of paprika, appeared to be toxic to the
flies.
