Have not drank Pepsi since first read this

This explains the new Soylent Green Pepsi coming out next year.

“Have not drank Pepsi since first read this “

Haven’t had a carbonated drink since about 1985 when my urologist took me to his white board and drew out the stoichiometric equations that merged CO2 with uric acid to make my kidney stones. Now the stuff tastes so foul to me that I can’t even sip some at a party.

But, had I know about this, I’d have quit anyway.

Barf alert.

Wasn’t this debunked a few years ago?

Always been a Coke guy. It has that edge that cuts through the thirst that Pepsi doesn’t do

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.

Another source for future autism????

This is postively disgusting.
