There's a very interesting article on the ABC website about a new variety of plum called the Queen Garnet whose properties contain a very high anti oxidant level.

The research to date has identified that the plum known as QK for short, has reversed certain illnesses common to humans and rats. Professor Lindsay Brown, from the University of Southern Queensland in Toowoomba said:

It's important to note that human trials have not begun, and need an injection of funds before they can proceed.

As the Article indicates there is insufficient supply of the plum at this time for sales to shops ..... bummer because although I do not suffer from any of the illnesses tested, I would have liked to taste it for myself and added it to my own and family's diet for some self testing as to obvious (or not) changes.

Full article:

Can you grow the plum in your yard?

Time for testing in lawyers...

And for anti aging in rats - look up rapamycin (I don't recommend testing that in lawyers...it might work)

I'd imagine that one can grow the plum in their yard, they'd have to look into the pricing and legalities because I think they're licensed at this stage.

The rest I'm still considering .....

I looked it up ..... it says it extended life without doing anything about youth-ifying. Who wants to live longer while continuing to feel older and older and older??? Stretched thin, like butter spread over too much toast?

You lose weight and youthify with plum juice, then dope up with rapamycin...

How much time and money are scientists spending to give us healthier, more attractive rats?
