Aborted fetal cells used to test food flavor enhancers – Wrong! Stop!
BOYCOTT THE INDUSTRIAL USE OF HUMAN TISSUE
www.cogforlife.org, March 29, 2011 press release: Biotech company using aborted fetal cell lines to test its flavor enhancers
Refers to this paper:
PubMed Central, Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences:
Human receptors for sweet and umami taste
Footnote: “Data deposition: The sequences reported in this paper have been deposited in the GenBank database (accession nos.: human T1R1, BK000153; human T1R2, BK000151; human T1R3, BK000152; and rat T1R3, AF456324).”
In the research paper above and its internal links, there are a lot of interesting points about cloning and chimera which sound like they are routine, and also the type of organizations involved. It’s amazing what mass abortion of unborn babies has led to, and what moral relativity has led to, in degrading human beings to the level of animals and products for vaccines and food production. A whole new world of “possibilities” once morality has been turned upside down.

Update:
Article by Dr. Mercola on the problems with flavor enhancers
The receptors used to test flavor enhancers
“are made from HEK293 — HEK stands for Human Embryonic Kidney cells … HEK293 originally came from a healthy, electively aborted baby whose cells were then harvested and cloned.”
Dr. Mercola explains that these flavor-altering compounds do not need to go through the FDA’s typical process for food additives. The ingredients are listed only as “artificial flavors”.
From Senomyx’s site (http://www.senomyx.com/flavor_programs/)
“Senomyx has discovered or in-licensed many of the key receptors that mediate taste in humans. 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.”
Article by lifesitenews.com:
‘“What they do not tell the public is that they are using HEK 293 – human embryonic kidney cells taken from an electively aborted baby to produce those receptors,” stated Debi Vinnedge, Executive Director for CGL, the watch dog group that has been monitoring the use of aborted fetal material in medical products and cosmetics for years.’
The previously mentioned research paper, authored by employees of the company mentions the “HEK-293” derived cell lines.

human embryonic kidney cells …The source of the cells was a healthy, aborted fetus
“HEK-293 (human epithelial kidney cells) were originally derived in 1977 from human embryonic kidney cells transformed with sheared adenovirus 5 DNA grown in tissue culture”

“Human” – you know, or “rat” or whatever. That’s the message of “Science” in the service of the World Corporate State – that most human beings are just animals and resources – raw material – in the service of the elite’s authoritarian collective – which also approves whatever it wants and calls it “food”.
