Posted this to show Pepsi did stop using the product, but the fact they would even consider such a thing is __________ (fill in the blank)

Like I said have not touched a Pepsi since.

The word you’re looking for is “ewwwe”. I swore off Pepsi and Pepsi products a little bit after 9/11.

The abortion mills are selling dead babies on an industrial scale. That’s how they can afford to finance all those political campaigns.

It follows that industries have found uses for dead babies. When those uses are exposed the true horror will make Hollywood productions pale.

Hitler and Himmler would be proud of Pepsi and the murder mills.

That is such a horrible to have been doing.

On a lesser note. Soda pop as a whole is big factor in bad health worldwide. The wife and I rarely (as in maybe 2 or 3 times a year) have glass of soda pop.

>>...which uses cells from a baby killed in an abortion to conduct flavor testing...

How the hell does THAT work?

“the Senomyx web site says. “Using isolated human taste receptors, we created proprietary taste receptor-based assay systems that provide a biochemical or electronic readout when a flavor ingredient interacts with the receptor.”

When they went to Pepsi “Throwback” and used pure cane sugar it tasted a whole lot better!!!

Does it say anywhere what, exactly, the cells were used for?

This seems odd on so many levels.

I don’t get it. They had dead babies take the ‘Pepsi Challenge’?

I’m not denying that people are profiting from abortion when they shouldn’t be. But knee jerk reactions causes the jerked knee to look ridiculous.
All HEK293 cells are derived from a single embryo that was aborted in the early 1970s, and cells derived from this embryo’s kidneys have been grown in culture ever since. So this is the result of one single abortion, that took place many years ago and was given consent by the US government. It was just the initial source of this cell line, which is used in almost every single lab doing biology research on the cellular level.
Yes, HEK293 is a human cell line that is derived from the kidneys of a human embryo. These cells have been immortalized so they divide ‘infinitely’ and don’t age / stop dividing as normal cells would do. THIS MEANS: No need to ‘consume’ further aborted fetuses ... or anything else weird. Apart from the fact that the origin of these cells is ONE aborted fetus (>40 years ago) which was definitely not aborted on purpose to make these “pepsi” cells... Using tissues of human origin is nothing unusual in the development and production of many scientific/pharmaceutical products and consumer products, it’s done all over the world ... ... Check the origin of HeLa cells ...
No human kidneys in Pepsi ...No part of these cells will end up in the Pepsi.
Senomyx is using the cells as an assay system to test flavor enhancers. They produce taste receptors (proteins that normally exist in you tongue) in the HEK cells and dump an “enhancer candidate” onto the cells to test for any kind of reaction ...
Discovering and refining the formulation of their product with this kind of assay allows the testing of a large number of candidate chemicals in small time and as the tests are done on human cells to detect health risks directly.
Nothing human goes into the drink, with exception of human waste that falls off the body naturally during production(hair, spit, snot, sweat).
So pepsi, coke, or any other company isn’t lining up at or using abortions from clinics or hospitals.

Yikes! I think I could be sick. I never knew they even did such a thing! Thanks be to God I don’t drink Pepsi, EVER.

Who could do that and swallow? Barbarian brains.

Thanks for the in-depth explanation.
It does turn down the horror factor greatly.
I’ll stick with my diet coke though.

Kinda puts a whole new perspective on Pepsi’s advertising slogan from the 60’s, “It’s Pepsi, for those who think young “
