I created a table for the article on Thursday, April 21st. I made it live that same day. I also made a paragraph about its link to longevity in nematodes. I made it live back in March. Here's a link to the article.

Longevity

Streptococcus thermophilus has been linked to longevity in some living organisms. In an experiment performed on on the bacteriophagous nematode species Caenorbabditus elegans, consumption of S. Thermophilus was shown to cause significant longevity when compared to specimens that consumed E. Coli OP50, a strain used as a standard food source. Additionally, there was no significant deviation in growth or brood size, showing that it wasn’t due to caloric restriction. Instead, its effect were linked to increased expression of the gene daf-16. This further enhances the expression of other antioxidant genes, which slows down the aging process.
