I saw a video (lost the link) that claimed some ingredients in soft drinks are derived from aborted baby cells. Is this a retarded flat earth type of claim, or is there any validity to it?
YES! If that will cure your addiction to sugar water drinks.
But as I remember, it was something like aborted baby cells were used to develop an initial flavor, without the actual cells or parts from aborted babies in food or drinks.
This article goes into more details, to include whether baby parts are used in vaccines and perfumes too.
The idea that companies like Pepsi and Kraft were using aborted fetuses as flavour additives was popularized by an article on the infamously pseudoscientific site Natural News in 2015. They wrote that some processed foods contained “various flavoring agents manufactured using the tissue of aborted human babies.” Strictly speaking, this isn’t a lie. But it is a misrepresentation. Senomyx, an American biotechnology company develops flavour enhancers for use in food products. To test these enhancers, they used taste receptors expressed in the HEK 293 cell line, which was generated from the kidney cells of a fetus aborted in 1973.

Religion and Vaccines—Aborted Fetuses
The Institute for Vaccine Safety, Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health, provides information about ethics and religious aspects arising from use of human cell lines in vaccines.
"The use of vaccines whose production is con- nected with procured abortion constitutes at least a mediate remote passive material cooperation to the abortion"
"Therefore, doctors and fathers of families have a duty to take recourse to alternative vaccines"
"As regards the diseases against which there are no alternative vaccines which are available and ethi- cally acceptable, it is right to abstain from using these vaccines if it can be done without causing chil- dren, and indirectly the population as a whole, to undergo significant risks to their health. However, if the latter are exposed to considerable dangers to their health, vaccines with moral problems pertain- ing to them may also be used on a temporary basis"
Some Catholics, including some conservative U.S. bishops and cardinals, have claimed vaccines based on research that used cells derived from aborted fetuses were immoral, and have refused to get the jabs.
Sector2 is right. There were no dead baby parts going directly into the drink. The biotech company hired by pepsi to create new flavors used aborted fetal tissue in their process. Pepsi fired them after it was exposed.
Remember when we had to make stem cell research legal so they could cure cancer? Lol guess babies have to die for soda pop.
The fucked up thing is they could have just paid someone to taste the shit for them instead of having this elaborate franken-baby-parts thing taste it for them.
Which probably means the whole thing was done for research purposes not related to making soda.
They use corn syrup because they are too cheap to pay for sugar. You think they would deal with the cost and logistics of putting aborted baby cells in their product? It's prosperous. What you should be worried about are the "vaccines" they can infuse into food.
But 'vaccines' a) contain aborted cancerous baby cells, and b) are costly, and you think they still do it? If it has religious significance, they'll do it, even seeing it as a sacrifice.

Quite different than your "exemption" above.
