Subject: 227'th update on fly longevity experiments

      This is the 227'th update of my fly longevity experiments. Average
 temperature was 24.0 C during this run. Estimated maximal longevity using
 the formula (363 - T*11.2) is 94 days.
      Cantalope had previously slightly increased maximum fly longevity in
 runs #113 & 212. This run tests a gliadin stabilized cantalope derived
 SOD called Glisodin. Imedeen claims to reduce wrinkles in humans, and
 silver water has some viral inhibitory effects.
      Nether Glisodin nor Imedeen offered a convincing benefit. The
 beneficial ingrediant in cantalope is presumed to be something else
 beside SOD. Silver water increased median, but not maximum lifespan, and
 is being retested in run #230.
