Dr professor Mahtab Jafari looks around in her research lab at the University of California campus she has a lot o Asian chicks working diligently trying to expand the years people live as if eighty years is not enough. The university system gets huge grants and Dr Mahtab's Jafari's work of mixing cinnamon and feeding them to fruit flies will pau in fruition someday and may help people live to two hundred yeas of age. fruit fly seem always to be tested in laboratories for their genetic nature and have been tested to study the effects of drugs such as Alzheimers, Parkinson's, and others that affect human beings.
Dr Jafari though loves the easy practical research. And funding that comes with testing for diseases on these little bugs. I don't know why these researchers rely so much on fruit flies and think anything can be developed by dissecting these bugs. As a bug exterminator these flies are disposable worthless creatures that do humanity no good but for scientists needing to give themselves work and justify money these flies are more important than eggs are for playboy bunny. 
The fruit fly is the scientific and modern day version of the tulip in Holland's economy circa 1650. The idea that human diseases can be conquered y testing the fly is laughable and Dr Jafari's experimentation with a cinnamon rich diet of spices is bizarre. perhaps they want the place to smell nice but in reality they have about as much of a chance of fining genetic improvements for humans in this lab as they do discovering it in a bakery. Jafari is now pursuing a grant to study some Russian and Chinese folk medicine and wants to study Rhodiola in white mice and one wonders how much modern science has fallen and is now pretty much merging with these alternative herbal medicines of old custom indigenous medicine where people dropped dead before age forty.
