Thanks for your comment. I appreciate your concern about my tin foil hat. Luckily it’s got a good fit. Maybe you can borrow it sometime..
I assume your comment is in reference to my recent post that Pepsi will stop calling its NAKED drinks natural, since they are not *see here*
And you’re right, they don’t use fetal tissue in its sodas..
So I did check SNOPES, which says that there is a mixture of truth in the ‘fetal tissue’ issue: http://www.snopes.com/politics/medical/pepsi.asp
And you’re right. They don’t use fetal tissue in their sodas. But that is not what I said, I said ‘flavoring.’
See this Washington TIMES article from April 2012.. Pepsi, at that time, STOPPED using an aborted fetal-cell line to develop flavor enhancers.. The TIMES reported in 2012:
Children of God for Life revealed last year that PepsiCo had contracted with Senomyx Inc., a San Diego biotech company that listed HEK-293, a “human embryo kidney” cell line produced from an aborted fetus in the 1970s, in more than 70 patents related to flavor enhancers.
So I stand by my sarcastic and snooty comment in my original post.
The only thing I may have misled my readers about is stating in a sense that Pepsi still uses it. But if you had soda prior to the summer of 2012, chances are you … drank flavoring that was helped by fetal cells of aborted tissue. And that is a fact.
