HEK293 used for testing flavor additives in processed foods ??
Some vaccines and "beauty products" contain ingredients derived from an aborted human baby and some major food manufacturers like PEPSI ,NESTLE and KRAFT - CADBURY test flavor additives using
HEK293 which comes from the cells of an aborted babies kidney .
After reading the article and reading what snopes.com had to say on this topic .
The only thing I'm 100 % sure about is ,
If there were two sides to this story being told, then the facts would be a whole lot clearer and easier to comprehend .
But , there isn't
The companies involved like PEPSI and Senomyx are being very evasive and won't return calls or answer direct questions on the topic.
Pepsi Uses Fetal Cells?
Here is the article that I found first, that caught my attention , it's very opinionated and the author of the article seems to lean towards sensationalism and is bit confused about what the research says. But IMO now days that can be said of about 99.9 % of the media the public has access to. That is why the snopes.com link comes before the natural news article link .
Sickening
I understand that the actual cells taken from the pieces of unborn human kidney has been tweaked and twisted and mashed to the point that there is very little DNA left .
And I have never been a fan of the processed
crap being sold / called 'food' fit for human consumption, that is sold by fast food places and in the grocery stores .
The idea of using human body parts ,unborn or otherwise ,just seems very unethical and disgusting in a ' Dr. Frankenstein or 'heil Hitler' sort of way . IMO .
