In research done at University of Iowa recorded at the Journal of Natural Science, it is found that fruit flies raised with the younger control flies lived twice as long as those housed with similar aged flies. It appears that social interaction with younger flies helped the flies to make some kind of physiological adaptation that compensated for the genetic defect which makes the insect vulnerable to oxidative-stress induced ageing.
So, my friend, if you love your older folks, talk to them. And to all my younger friends who interact with me, I thank you from the bottom of my heart for helping to help me live longer. ... and of course don’t call us older folks fruit flies, Haha!
