The senator says that his research shows there are companies in the food industry that have used human stem cells to help them research and develop products, including artificial flavorings.
"I don't know if it is happening in Oklahoma, it may be, it may not be. What I am saying is that if it does happen then we are not going to allow it to manufacture here," Shortey tells KRMG's Nicole Burgin.
As an impartial journalistic outlet, we're not here to tell you that Ralph Shortey is an utter moron whose incompetent attempts to ban stem cell-derived medicine reveal his all-encompassing idiocy, nor to tell you that the use of aborted human fetuses in food would already be in clear violation of a variety of different federal and state laws. Nor, for that matter, are we here to tell you that you should or should not be eating aborted human fetuses. What we are here to do is find out what foods are made using aborted human fetuses. We've contacted a number of the country's largest food companies and asked: do you use aborted human fetuses in your food products?

Why do they use fetal cells for anything? Who came up with this idea?
Are there fetal cells in vaccines?
Are there fetal cells in a lot of your cosmetics? especially face creams? to give you that baby soft glow.

The story goes on to explain that until now "... researchers have only been able to grow human embryonic stem cells from surplus IVF embryos, which are not a genetic match with the recipient."
Study leader goes on to say ''Our finding offers new ways of generating stem cells for patients with dysfunctional or damaged tissues and organs,''
I find this sort of stuff amazing - apart from the ethical debate on cloning - the possible ramifications for longevity and patient treatment is endless.
Until now, researchers have only been able to grow human embryonic stem cells from surplus IVF embryos, which are not a genetic match with the recipient.
In 2007 scientists also developed methods to reprogram normal body cells into induced pluripotent stem cells, a process that won its inventors the 2012 Nobel prize. While this technique has reduced the need to grow stem cells from cloned human embryos, there have been concerns it may generate mutations in cells.
To obtain stem cells from a human embryo, the US team transferred the nuclei of a human skin cells into a human egg cell whose nucleus had been removed.
The cells grew into early-stage embryos, or blastocysts, that gave rise to human embryonic stem cells that were capable of transforming into other cell types.

Pepsi Beverages
No longer on the boycott list! Senomyx will not use aborted fetal cells in any of the PEPSICO research & development.
Kraft - Cadbury Adams LLC
No longer on the boycott list! As of December 27, 2011 Kraft ended their contract with Senomyx and no product was brought to the market.
Senomyx Partner/ Products Developed Discovered With Aborted Fetal Cell Lines
Nestles has products on the market using Senomyx and they continue to collaborate for future products. The products listed are their coffee creamers and Maggi soup and sauce products. PepsiCo is using Senomyx for future products, however they are NOT using aborted fetal cell lines in the development of those flavor enhancers. Cadbury Adams ended their agreement in Dec 2011 and they have brought no product to market using Senomyx. So right now, the target is Nestles.
newsmedicalworld.blogspot.com“Using isolated human taste receptors,” the Senomyx website claims, “we created proprietary taste receptor-based assay systems that provide a biochemical or electronic readout when a flavor ingredient interacts with the receptor.”
“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.
“They could have easily chosen COS (monkey) cells, Chinese Hamster Ovary cells, insect cells or other morally obtained human cells expressing the G protein for taste receptors,” Vinnedge added.[/url]

Which Companies Are Using Aborted Human Fetuses in Their Food?
None.
Bill Would Ban Aborted Fetuses in Food
An Oklahoma bill that would ban the sale of food containing aborted human fetuses has some people wondering: What food currently contains aborted human fetuses? The bill, introduced Jan. 18 by State Sen. Ralph Shortey, prohibits the manufacture or sale of “food or any other product intended for human consumption which contains aborted human fetuses in the ingredients or which used aborted human fetuses in the research or development of any of the ingredients.”

I would be hesitant in calling this a lie. They are using a lot of weird crap in the foods anymore. Castoreum (beaver butt glands) is being used as an artificial flavoring. Crushed beetles are being used for red food coloring. I can believe they would use humans for flavorings too. They are greedy evil corporations.

How do they get thousands of human fetuses everyday to supply their production lines?!....Wouldn't it be much cheaper and less controversial to just use the same crap everyone else is using?.

Further investigation regarding this, explains that fetal kidney cells taken from a voluntarily aborted fetus in the 70's have be cloned as needed to provide for the testing that the flavoring company used.
Sooooo it's not about thousands of human fetuses, it is about kidney cells taken from one single aborted fetus in the '70's.
