"Not long ago, Oklahoma State Senator Ralph Shorten introduced a bill that would ban 'the manufacture or sale of food or products which use aborted human fetuses.'

But what are the foods or products which use aborted human fetuses?

Every time you purchase mass-produced “food” from such firms as Kraft, PepsiCo, or Nestle, you are choosing — whether you realize it or not — to feed your family not only genetically engineered poisons and chemical additives, but also various flavoring agents manufactured using the tissue of aborted human babies.

It’s true:  A company based in San Diego, California, formerly known as Senomyx, is in the business of using aborted embryonic cells to produce flavoring chemicals, both savory and sweet, which are then added to things like soft drinks, candy, and cookies.

What they are using is known as HEK 293 — human embryonic kidney cells taken from an electively aborted baby in order to produce 'flavor receptors.'

Though there is nothing on the website linking Senomyx with HEK 293, a little Googling will turn up a patent issued in 2008 for 'Recombinant Methods for Expressing a Functional Sweet Taste Receptor,' in which a line item mentions HEK 293.

Melanie Warner, CBS news, wrote:

    'Is this claim true?  Neither Pepsi nor Senomyx’s returned calls, so we don’t know the companies’ side of the story.  But a perusal of Senomyx’s  patents suggests that it may well be.  All but seven of the company’s 77 patents refer to the use of HEK 293.' ”

 

The information above was extracted from Waymarks’ Pilgrims Rest in a May 2023 Special Report.  If you do some research online, you’ll learn that both AP News and USA Today say they fact-checked this claim and found it to be false.  The FDA also asserted that no food using human embryos would ever be approved.

Having said that, we now live in an age of almost total skepticism, and some of us have little faith in the market’s intent to protect us from an abomination like this.
