Pepsi: It Will Halt Using Aborted Fetal Cells in Flavor Research

Thursday, September 17, 2015 10:42
% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.

(Before It's News)

Pepsi

If there has been any question for some, about whether America has lost its way or not, let this be the defining moment that answers with a resounding, “YES!” I was shocked and horrified to read not only that the practice of using aborted fetal cells for flavor research had been contemplated, but that major household names like Pepsi were engaged in such a practice.

First of all, the mere thought that ANY company would even think about using aborted fetal cells in flavor research is a company that all Americans should boycott indefinitely, even Pepsi…

ESPECIALLY Pepsi. How many professional sports is Pepsi the official soft drink of? Pepsi should get booted indefinitely, and NOW, regardless of their decision to stop engaging in the practice. What types of human beings are running corporations that would do such a thing? 

If you missed last night’s GOP debate, Carly Fiorina was SPECTACULAR on the issue of defunding Planned Parenthood.

Regardless of whether a person is Pro-Choice, or Pro-Life, the fact that ANYONE is still left defending this organization is a testament to America’s national character. All the NONSENSE you hear in the media about mammograms and women’s health are pure BULLSH** intended to tug on your emotions, but are BASELESS in fact.

Planned Parenthood doesn’t do mammograms, or just about anything else for women’s health other than refer women to places that do, but they sure do give abortions on demand, and apparently sell the aborted fetuses for a profit as you’ll learn in the second video.

First, to woman who need a referral for a mammogram,EMAIL ME! Please include the city and zip code where you live, and I’ll gladly provide you with a list of providers the same way Planned Parenthood would.

Now that we have that taken care of, Carly Fiorina speaks out on Planned Parenthood slightly passed the 51:30 mark. Her response is electrifying. Listen, and then imagine using that aborted material to enhance flavor, or whatever the hell these companies are doing with it.

If there is ANY doubt, what this abomination of a company is REALLY doing, the following video is the TENTH to be released exposing the inner workings of the organization. Advocates want to focus on the under cover manner in which the videos were taken. Give me a break. If criminals admitted to their criminal deeds, there would be no need for undercover work, but clearly that’s not the case with 10 videos now is it?

Before you read any further, any attempts to dismiss this story because “Snopes” says it’s a fake can be checked at the door. First, look at the date of the Snopes “Investigation,” and look at the date of the article below where Pepsi has agreed to stop engaging in the practice.

Second, if you didn’t already know, try reading, Long Standing Suspicion Confirmed: Snopes is BOGUS!

What is so sickening about all this, aside from the obvious, is the fact that Pepsi fought the measure for close to FIVE years before caving as the article from Cogforlife.org illustrates. It was written in 2011.

WHERE HAS THE “NEWS” MEDIA BEEN ON THIS?

PepsiCo Says It Will Halt Use of Aborted Fetal Cells in Flavor Research

Dave Bohon writes:

A pro-life leader has won a victory in her efforts to convince soft-drink manufacturer PepsiCo to stop the use of aborted fetal cells in its research for enhancing the flavors of its products. Debi Vinnedge, executive director of Children of God for Life (COGFL), announced that in late April she had received a letter from Paul Boykas, PepsiCo’s vice president for Global Public Policy, confirming that the company will not allow the use of HEK-293 — a cell line derived from human embryonic kidney — in its partnership with Senomyx, the company with which it had inked a four-year, $30 million contract for flavor research.

As reported last November by The New American, a PepsiCo shareholder had filed a resolution with the Securities and Exchange Commission in an effort halt the company from contracting with Senomyx, which, according to documents collected by Vinnedge, used cell lines derived from aborted babies in its process of producing artificial flavor enhancers.

According to a report by LifeNews.com at the time, Pepsi had “ignored concerns and criticism from dozens of pro-life groups and tens of thousands of pro-life people who voiced their opposition to PepsiCo contracting with biotech company Senomyx even after it was found to be testing their food additives using fetal cells from abortions.”

But after a nearly year-long campaign led by COGFL that included a nationwide boycott of PepsiCo products, in late April Boykas sent a letter to Vinnedge assuring her that PepsiCo would not “conduct or fund research — including research performed by third parties — that utilizes any human tissue or cell lines derived from embryos or fetuses.” Boykas also assured Vinnedge that “Senomyx does not use HEK cells or any other tissues or cell lines derived from human embryos or fetuses for research performed on behalf of PepsiCo.”

In response to the letter, Vinnedge said that she was “absolutely thrilled with PepsiCo’s decision. They have listened to their customers and have made both a wise and profound statement of corporate integrity that deserves the utmost respect, admiration, and support of the public.”

Vinnedge said that she had spoken personally with Boykas, who told her that in the process of internal discussions on the issue, company officials had recognized that it was not in PepsiCo’s best interest to continue a policy that could hurt customer relations. “We took the matter very seriously,” Vinnedge quoted Boykas as saying. “We have an official statement on Responsible Research and we intend to live by that policy.”

The policy, Vinnedge explained, “precludes any research by PepsiCo or third parties they fund from using human tissue or cell lines derived from embryos or fetuses.”

News of PepsiCo’s decision reverberated through the pro-life community. “We are grateful to PepsiCo, and especially to all those who sent a loud and clear message to the management of this company,” said Brad Mattes of Life Issues Institute, one of the over 30 groups that joined in the efforts to persuade PepsiCo to change its policy. He added that “there are moral cell lines Senomyx can and should be using — not just for PepsiCo research but for all their customers.” Vinnedge noted that such usable cell lines could easily come from animals, insects, or even non-fetal human cells that express the “G protein” relevant for taste receptors.

Vinnedge said that beyond its contract with PepsiCo, Senomyx, which receives royalties for products sold using its ingredients, needs to rethink its use of aborted fetal cells in flavor research. “If they do not use aborted fetal cell lines, they offend no one,” she said. “If they do, they most certainly offend at least half of U.S. consumers who are pro-life.” She said that “it only makes financial sense for both Senomyx and their collaborators to avoid a substantial loss of potential market. Senomyx needs to stop using the aborted fetal cell lines entirely and we will continue to pressure them to do so.”

The pro-life leader added that individuals and families who had boycotted Pepsi products over the issue should now write the company and thank its CEO for the ethical decision — “and then go buy your favorite Pepsi products to celebrate!” Vinnedge said that “too often we seem to focus on the negatives and forget to take the time to let others know we appreciate their efforts. It is our sincere hope that the public will once again rise to the occasion en masse as they did in the boycott — but this time in appreciation and support of PepsiCo.”

You can write to thank Pepsi on its website, or by mail to:

  • Dont drink poison no pops or energy satanic drinks.

    qikq

    • BRO! SATANIC ENERGY DRINKS?

      REALLY? LAST I HEARD IT WAS MONSTER BRAND ONLY!

      GTFO! SOME ENERGY DRINKS ARE OK DUMMY!

      • You are proof of the negative side effects of too many energy drinks.

        • NO YOU ARE PROOF OF HOW RETARDED YOUR RETARDED MIND IS!

          BTW YOUR RATINGS ARE ONLY ARTIFICIAL MEANS OF INTIMIDATING ME!

          I CARE NOT OF IT AND BURY YOU DOWN!

          SO GTFO! YOU THINK I WILL LISTEN TO YOUR CACA MOUTH?

  • Is this real? If it is, I drank my last Pepsi ever yesterday.

  • Thank you for the post. So few people know this info.

  • Pepsi got caught. Even if they say they wont use aborted fetus, Im not a supporter of Pepsi. Go drink your Britney Spears sponsored satanic drink somewhere else like to the thug urban ghetto hoods,

    Eat More GMO :mad:

    • AllRoadsLead2NWO

      Oh no MooCow- Russia Government has banned GMO food production!
      https://www.rt.com/politics/315844-government-decides-to-ban-gmo/

      • Wow when did we flip roles with Russia? We are the evil world aggressors now and they are banning GMO. WTF?

        • There was no flipping of roles, Lude, only a distorted view of history. I’m guessing you have no idea that it was diseases that defeated the red man 1st nationals or that it was Russia who won the 2nd world war.

          Indeed for every American Indian killed by musket or bayonet another 9 died from maladies such as Smallpox, Measles, Influenza and Bubonic Plague.

          Indeed out of every 5 German combatants killed during WWII 4 of them died by Russian hands.

          I suggest reading The Flashman Papers as a light eyeopener to many of the historical injustices, we all endure, which are mostly due to collective ignorance.

  • I’ve not got time to read this tonight, but somehow I don’t think I’m going to sleep to well with this horror story playing on my mind, maybe it’s time the human race was put to sleep.

  • Don’t know how much of this is true but I read when Bush was in office that Osama Bin Laden owned 51 % of Pepsi . Then I found on YouTube if you search (compare Osama with Obama ) things get kind of scary . And now fetal cells in Pepsi ? This messes with people’s DNA . It makes you a canible that screws up the inside because your body can’t process human DNA . Then I saw a video of Mc Donald’s serving children on their minue . I dont know if this is true either . But the man blantly tells if how it is being done . And says you cant stop him because he is of the elite and chosen . Dont eat their anymore . Had a cop that worked in another town admit that human DNA had been found in the food at Mc Donald’s in their town . What the hell are these idiot leaders doing to us ? No freaking wonder so many are sickly and loosing their minds . Cancer is at an all time high . And if properly checked the tumor cells probably have other human DNA in them . So is the growth growing inside of people really other humans cells . Kind of like the rat growing human ears and noses for harvesting . This has become a mentally sick world . And those worshipping Satan can except the blame . They worship death ! So lead by example and take off and go find it . No ! They don’t want to die . So really they are Hippocrates . And the Satan they serve is a Hippocrate also . He loves his life as much as anyone else . But his jealousy of mankind being made greater than himself eats him up . So he lies offering wealth , power and control . Then after using the person to do the evil deeds and that person is no longer needed he tries to destroy them . Once in custody for killing someone he then leaves them . Now they are on their own . The bible says he is a lier and the father of it . And he walks to and for seeking whom he may devour . These people practicing satanic rituals have no idea that soon their time will run out . They will soon meet GODs road block . Then Satan will flee and leave them to fend for themselves . Satan does not love anyone . He dose not have that capability . He is the opposite of GOD . GOD is LOVE , Satan is Hate . GOD is kind , Satan is brutal . GOD is Peace , Satan is confusion . GOD is caring , Satan is kill them . For those that grew up in religious homes that used the bible to beat you down with , I am sorry . This is not of GOD . When GOD told Israel to destroy a city it was because of the evil of killing , adultery , idol worship , rapes , sodomy and all manor of evil that would corrupt and destroy mankind . It was like someone that had brutally murdered Morgan Harrington . Should this man be allowed to continue living among people , Walking around freely still using his cab to pick up young ladies ? NO ! Hell NO !!! So God saved many people from being used for their evil gains and games . There is a line that once crossed people of evil will not come back . They are totally given over to evil . This is why Noah had to board the boat . Every thought of man was only evil continually . Not to meantion the fallen angels were screwing everything they could get their hands on . So here we go again messing with Human and animal DNA . GOD has showed in the past HE hates this . Either we the people of right ness or Righeousness stop this manure or GOD will soon stop it . This time He will use fire ! Evil is like a termite it will eat up anyone involved with it or even around it . The 10 commandments are for the good of all man . But those wishing not to follow them end up as murderers , thieves , liers , sodomisers , rapist , haters , unkind , selfish , slanderers , idol worshippers , abusers , drunks , gluttoners , hateful , truce brakers , beastiality , habitual offenders , foul mouths , cursing and whatever that is evil . The commandments hold life as a top value with no killing except in defense . The truth is held in high esteem with thou shalt not lie . Marriage is sacred with no committing adultery . Slander is to be done away with by thou shalt not bare false witness . Jealousy which is crueler than the grave is dealt with by thou shalt not covet they neighbors wife , house , goods , horse ( car ) land or whatever . Because once in the heart one begins to act out the desires of the heart . Offer the man a price for it not seek to obtain it secretly and underhandedly . And last but no least honor GOD with all your heart , mind body and soul . Because GOD says it will give live unto you . Or better put HE will add life to your years and happiness and peace to your heart .

    The Khazarian MSM do not need to bring this.
