The uninsured in the U.S. used to pay over $130,000/gal for brand-name insulin. Most insulin cannot be sold at a concentration above 100 units/ml, and they used to cost about $0.35/unit, or $35/ml in formulation. That's $35,000/l or $130,000/gal. And these prices were realized--it's not like you could buy it cheaper in bulk. You really did have to pay $130,000+ per gal for your insulin. Nowadays you're only paying like $80,000/gal, which is of course much better.
1. I'm near certain that antimatter is the most expensive substance, it's possible that that they said liquid and I'm not sure of the state of it, But it's microscopic and worth insane amounts. 2. The other issue of flies able to dodge newspapers is not just their reflexes, they do a large arc backflip the second they see the movement. So they are quickly, and without any processing load, swiftly removed from the angle of hand as well as not where they were sitting when the movement started. That is why you clap about 6 inches above a fly, and you will catch it at the top of its backflip. Their eyes are also multiple cells, so are especially good at detecting movement. I assume it's correct that fast metabolism means faster reflexes, but those other points seem quite relevant
