Children of God for Life’s Executive Director, Debi Vinnedge, hailed PepsiCo’s decision as a major breakthrough and achievement by thousands of concerned consumers who have been writing and [url="http://www.lifesitenews.com/news/pro-life-groups-call-for-pepsi-boycott-over-aborted-fetal-cell-lines"]boycotting[/url] PepsiCo beverages since last May. In a [url="http://www.cogforlife.org/pepsiresponse042012.pdf"]letter[/url] to Children of God for Life, PepsiCo’s VP of Global Public Policy, Paul Boykas stated that “Senomyx will not use HEK cells or any other tissues or cell lines derived from human embryos or fetuses for research performed on behalf of PepsiCo.†Click the link for more.

dominicansoul Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 i'm a little bit unknowledgeable on this subject, but what does it mean when they use aborted fetal tissue to enhance flavor? are they putting murdered babies into their products??

[/quote] No, it's used in the research. I'm not entirely sure how it works, but some sort of receptor on the cells are used to figure out flavors or something like that. It's used in the development of the products, not the products themselves. The thing is, they could've gotten those same receptors from cells that were morally obtained, so there was really no reason to use aborted fetal cells (not that flavor enhancement would be a reason, anyway. Just that it makes it that much more disgusting that they were using those cells).[quote name='Amppax' timestamp='1335799930' post='2425191'] my understanding was that they were used in flavor testing.

BigJon16 Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 IAABC because I continued to keep drinking Pepsi with the full knowledge that this was going on. I really didn't believe it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
