Oxidative stress resistance of <i>Drosophila</i> raised on organic food.

<p>Survivorship curves of female flies raised for 10 days on the indicated food sources. Flies were then transferred to media containing H₂O₂ and dead flies were counted twice daily (grey: conventional food; black: organic food; statistically significant changes (p<0.005) are indicated by asterisks). Median survival times of flies on conventional and organics food sources, respectively, are: potatoes: 24 and 30 hours (p<0.0001); raisins: 24 and 24 hours (p<0.0001); bananas: 30 and 30 hours (p<0.2172).
