This is the 69'th update of my fly longevity experiments. Average
temperature was 24.2 C during this run. Here I check to see if freshness
is as important in cinnamon, as it is with paprika. I also recheck paprika
for consistency in its lifespan advantage.
Aged cinnamon from an opened container proved to be surprisingly
toxic. By comparison the two higher doses of fresh cinnamon offered a
survival advantage late in life. The higher dosages of paprika also
offered an advantage.
