Abstract
The periodic addition of the sodium salt of ethylenediaminetetraacetate to the diet of albino rats, starting when the animals have reached maturity, increases the mean and maximal life span although analysis of the causes of death, revealed a higher incidence of neoplasms in these rats. The addition of the compound to the diet after the animals have reached a presenile age has no effect on the life span or morbidity of the rats.
