How long has this been going on???
Beverage giant PepsiCo has once again partnered with Senomyx, the San
Diego, California based chemical company that gained nationwide attention back
in 2011 for using aborted human fetal cells to develop flavor
chemicals, to create even more flavor chemicals for its products. ~ Videos – Audio

According to reports, the new “mystery” ingredients are designed to
enhance sweetness of Pepsi products with less added sugar, but there is
no indication they will be properly identified on product labels.
The
purpose of the joint effort is to develop new flavor additives that
will make Pepsi products taste sweeter with less sugar and fewer
calories.
In a 2010 press release, the two companies explain that the
goal of their endeavor is to develop and commercialize new “sweet
enhancers” and “natural high-potency sweeteners” for the purpose of both
improving the taste of Pepsi and satisfying consumer demand for
healthier processed food products that contain less refined sugar and
processed salt.
Are these new Senomyx flavor chemicals really safe? According to a 2011 article published by CBS News‘
MoneyWatch, Senomyx’s proprietary flavor chemicals are actually a type
of genetically-modified organism (GMO).
Since laboratory scientists
develop them by injecting the genetic sequences of the four known taste
receptors into cell cultures, some of which come from aborted fetal cell
lines, the end product is nothing more than a biotech creation that
cannot be found in nature.
“Senomyx gives its products
opaque names like S2383 and S6973 and refers to them only as
‘enhancers’ or ‘ingredients’ — it doesn’t like the word ‘chemical,'”
explains Melanie Warner from CBS News.“The company says that
many of its enhancers have ‘been granted’ GRAS (Generally Recognized As
Safe) status, but all that means is that the company did its own
assessment and then concluded everything was fine.”
According to reports, Pepsi
has already paid Senomyx $30 million as part of the deal to develop new
flavor chemicals, and this was after a previous arrangement between
Senomyx and Coca-Cola fell through. See THIS.
Pepsi products that contain the new
additives will be marketed as containing roughly 60 percent less sugar
than standard-market Pepsi products, but will not necessarily bear
labels explaining precisely what these ingredients are, or how the body processes them.
“[U]ntil
or unless Pepsi decides to share details about how exactly it’s
achieving a 60 percent reduction in sugar while keeping the taste the
same, customers will be drinking their ‘scientifically advantaged’ sodas
completely in the dark,” adds Warner.
Senomyx… Who Uses This Process?
Now that you know what Senomyx does, you probably want to know the
companies that contract with them. We’ll update this list as we discover
more information, but for now, here are the companies we’re aware of:
-
PepsiCo (click here for a list of all their brands and products)
-
Frito-Lay (click here for a list of brands and products)
-
Tropicana (click here for a list of brands and products)
-
Quaker
-
Gatorade
-
Lipton
-
Kraft (here are two lists of Kraft brands and products: Kraft Foods website, and a separately compiled list. Note that Kraft is a parent company for Nabisco)
-
Nestle (click here for a list of products and brands)
-
Pfizer Inc (click here for a list of products)
-
Merck & Co (click here for a list of products)
The list doesn’t end there… here’s a real eye opener! Look at THIS!
If that wasn’t enough of a shock, LISTEN TO THIS Denver Radio Show
Still don’t get it?
Only you are responsible for the buying choices you make. Junk food and sodas are addicting… by design. The more you consume, the more you have to consume… You try to never ‘run out’.
Down to that last can of soda? You drink it on the way to the store to buy more and grab a bag of chips to go with it. It’s mind control in a can, box or bag. Think about it, why do you buy this ‘stuff’? Why do you start panicing when your ‘stuff’ supply starts running low? It’s addicting!
Most people have no idea what they are putting in their mouth or feeding their kids. These are the choices your kids will make because they are addicted to the ‘stuff’ too. It all starts when they are young, babies.
These nearly toothless babies are drinking soda from BPA contaminated sippy cups! When the baby runs out of soda, they scream and take a fit until they get more. This ‘stuff’ is addicting.
School age kids are looking for a soda as soon as their eyes open in the morning! What’s up with that? No hot breakfast, they have a soda and left over cold pizza and out the door they go. Why do they do this?
THIS is learned behavior. Kids do this because it’s what they learned and what they know. It works for them, it’s a temporary quick fix and as soon as lunch time rolls around, they are looking for more. It’s a vicious cycle!
This is how it works. Companies such as Pepsi never want you to run out of ‘stuff’ and will do anything to make certain you choose them for your addiction.
Pepsi says it will stop using Senomyx aborted fetal cell ‘flavor’ enhancers BUT, they initially lied when confronted about it with numerous denials. They were caught lying about it then and who can prove they aren’t lying about it now?
As long as you are addicted and willing to give them your money for their products, everyone is happy. You got your ‘fix’ and they got your money. Just stop feeding this beast and hopefully it will dry up and blow away.
