The speaker asserts that every time people consume natural flavorings, they could be ingesting substances developed by human fetal cells. They claim that major food companies—Pepsi, Nestle, and Kraft—have used a biotech company called Cinomics to create flavor enhancers, and that these artificial flavors were originally tested using HEK293, a cell line derived from aborted fetal tissue. Due to legal loopholes, these connections aren’t required to be disclosed to consumers. The speaker explains how the process allegedly works: the food industry recognizes that processed foods lose flavor, so they hire biotech firms to develop flavor enhancers rather than using real ingredients. They state that Ceramics found HEK293 cells, which originated from fetal tissue, respond to flavors in a way similar to human taste buds. By testing flavors on these cells, additives were created to enhance processed foods, purportedly making them more appealing and contributing to widespread addiction to these products. These chemical compounds were then rebranded as natural flavors. Why this matters, according to the speaker, is that the food industry operates as a single, deceptive system that uses loopholes to keep consumers uninformed. They claim that today even “natural flavors” can contain over 100 synthetic compounds developed using biotech processes that consumers aren’t told about. The overarching message is that the pursuit is profit rather than health, and that consumers are being used as experimental subjects. If such information has been hidden for decades, the speaker questions what else might be concealed, urging listeners to wake up, check labels, and demand transparency. The speaker also warns that if companies can manipulate what people eat, they could influence how people think and feel. They exhort viewers to expose the truth together and to share the video with others who care about food provenance. The closing call to action emphasizes education as power and urges collective effort to uncover and understand hidden information about natural flavors. Throughout, the speaker asks viewers whether they have been fooled by natural flavors and invites discussion in the comments, framing knowledge and collective action as the path to greater freedom.

I'm getting groceries for our trip to Europe. Check out the color of Fanta here—it's quite different from the bright orange we see in the U.S. That's because they can't use artificial colors or dyes; this version is made with 100% orange juice. No chemicals mean you can enjoy it without worrying about weight gain. It's a stark contrast to American food, which often contains additives.

Speaker 0: You trust Costco with your family's dinner, but their meat undergoes a controversial process that's banned in several countries. Speaker 1: Everyone loves Costco chicken or even that rotisserie chicken from Walmart or your favorite grocery store. But what if that label on that rotisserie bird isn't telling you the whole story? What you're about to learn could change the way that you buy protein forever. Costco chicken is beloved and seen as a great deal. I know this. But recent discussions about preservatives, labeling accuracy, and contamination has put that belief at risk. Guys, look. Speaker 2: Costco is facing a lawsuit over its popular rotisserie chickens. A group of shareholders filed the lawsuit against the company over its treatment in raising chickens. Speaker 0: You trust Costco with your family's dinner, but their meat undergoes a controversial process that's banned in several countries. Most shoppers have no idea this is happening right under their noses. The real question isn't what they're doing. It's why they're allowed to do it. You know that famous $5 rotisserie chicken at Costco? The one that's been the same price since Obama was president? Well, there's a juicy secret they don't want you knowing about. Speaker 1: They label it as no preservatives, guys. And this goes hand in hand with Walmart and your probably your favorite grocery store. This is what I would call a huge scandal. There's a reason why those chickens have been four ninety nine since 2009. It's to get you in the store. It's to get you to spend a ton of money, and they've cut a lot of corners to make sure that it's cheap and easy to produce for you. Welcome, guys. My name's Cohen from Riverside Homestead. What I do is I give you guys value. I do the digging so you don't have to do it. So if you appreciate that, hit the thumbs up right now. Let the community know where you're chiming in from, what state, and let me crush your dreams on rotisserie chicken like ugh. Trust me. I know. So watch. This chicken is labeled as no preservatives, guys. And this goes hand in hand with Walmart and your probably your favorite grocery store. This is what I would call a huge scandal. There's a reason why those chickens have been four ninety nine since 2009. It's to get you in the store. It's to get you to spend a ton of money, and they've cut a lot of corners to make sure that it's cheap and easy to produce for you. Welcome, guys. My name's Cohen from Riverside Homestead. What I do is I give you guys value. I do the digging so you don't have to do it. So if you appreciate that, hit the thumbs up right now. Let the community know where you're chiming in from, what state, and let me crush your dreams on rotisserie chicken like ugh. Trust me. I know. So watch. This chicken is labeled as no preservatives, organic, healthy as it gets. We've talked about this before on this channel. Loopholes. Speaker 0: Costco injects every single rotisserie chicken with a phosphate solution before it hits those warming lights. Think you're buying pure chicken? Think again. You're paying for water with a side of poultry. This liquid injection makes each bird weigh significantly more, So you're essentially buying a sponge that's been soaked in chemical juice. Speaker 1: Did you guys know that these chickens are only about six weeks old because of everything that they pump into them? It's a marketing ploy to get you through the door for the cheap chicken and buy everything else. And there's active lawsuits right now. This is especially bred chicken in horrible conditions. Speaker 3: Grown and fattened on likely corn and soy that's GMO to create this chicken in six weeks that you're eating. They take it to a mass slaughter house where they dip it in chlorine and other toxins to make it safe, and it's leaving those residues on the chicken. And this bird isn't just seasoned with normal herbs and spices. They have preservatives in here like sodium phosphate that's linked to liver and kidney damage and carrageenan, which can degrade into polygenin, which is a known inflammatory agent and possible carcinogen. Speaker 1: Yeah. I found information on that from another doctor. Speaker 4: Doctor Tanya, what's one thing you never buy from the grocery store? Rotisserie chicken. Why? The bag the chicken is stored in is plastic, and it leaches chemicals that get into the food when it's sitting under the heat. Most stores inject the chickens with additives so that they can last on the shelf longer. Chickens are often marinated in a preservative solution. We opt for preservative free cosmetics, and then we're eating preservative infested chicken. And carrageenan. This is a chemical that precooked poultry is injected with to make it tender and juicy, but guess what? It can also inflame the gut. Carrageenan is banned in Europe, but not in The United States. Speaker 1: Yet again, another ingredient item banned in other countries, but allowed in The US. I know we love it because it's such a good deal. It's cheap. It's easy. It's taste great. I'm on the struggle bus with you guys on this one, but I'm reading countless articles, discussion about preservatives, labeling accuracy and contamination that has put all this belief at risk. Now I recently was at a Costco filming this right here. I was there. I saw it. It says no added hormones or steroids in a chicken that is fully developed in six weeks. Right there at the bottom, you can see it says no added preservatives. And have you ever wondered why it's in a plastic bag that you can put in your microwave? Microwave safe, plastic bag, put the two and two together. Speaker 3: Right out of the oven stored in a plastic bag. Nobody really knows what type of plastic bag this is, but it's likely a mix of polyethylene terephthalate. Remember that word phthalate? It's a known hormone disruptor, and this is microwave safe. So you're putting hot food into a plastic bag that can leach these hormone disrupting chemicals, and a 117,000,000 of these are eaten each year in The US. So share this video with your friends. Speaker 1: This is what I'm talking about. Hundreds of thousand millions of these chickens are sold in The US a year. This is why you need to share this out. Sorry folks, but they're just cutting too many corners these days. And it comes down to us. And who's gonna suffer? Us. They're gonna make a ton of money. So if you dive into the legal term no preservatives, they found loopholes to where they can actually put this legally. This is where the class action lawsuit or the lawsuit from a couple people in California are like, hold up. Wait a minute, you guys are using this stuff and this is preservatives, but you guys are saying it's no preservatives. In short, the processing agents that they're using can be deemed not to be called preservatives. Oh yeah, you're getting something with no preservatives, organic as it gets. Yet at the end of the day, you and I would look at that cross eyed and be like, Yeah, what they're using works the same way. It's not what you think it is. That's just what it is. I'm not sure if you guys have seen what these large scale poultry processing facilities look like, but it's not happy chickens walking around a field eating green grass and bugs. Think about the cross contamination that occurs and what safeguards exist and where they fail. For certain that these huge plants they fail. Great thing for Costco is they can scale. They can pump out millions of birds in six weeks and give it to us for a low price even with them losing money. That's right. Like I said, scammedemic kind of they will take a loss on this because they're producing at such a large scale and cutting corners just to get you through the door for that $4 and 99 rotisserie chicken so that you put hundreds of dollars of their stuff in your cart and check out. Other stores, Walmart, other grocery stores, they have caught on to this. They know what Costco found out. They're all doing the same thing. This is information that you need to consider. Speaker 5: Alright, guys. Here are three scary facts about Costco chicken that'll hopefully make you never buy this shit ever again. Alright. So I had to move on over to Lowe's to show you part two of this video. So they start by bathing the chicken in chlorine. They actually put it in a chlorine bath, and it soaks in this chlorine for about thirty minutes. Why does that and should that matter to you? I'm gonna tell you. Next thing they do is they inject the chicken with a chemical compound called TSP. It's trisodium phosphate. Guys, I'm just at Lowe's pulling this stuff off the shelves. This is crazy. I mean, this is the shit that you're allowing into your body. Read the warning label on this and tell me that this is a good idea to ingest in the human body. And then the last thing, which is I don't know if it's scarier than the other two things. They're all really bad. But they they let the chicken sit in these plastic bags, and they sit there for days on end, hours, days, whatever. It's sitting in your fridge for probably a long time. There are microplastics being released into the chicken from the plastic bags that are getting into your body, and it is unbelievably bad for you. Mean, there's microplastics showing up in human hearts, in in in men's testicles. Like, it's really, really bad, guys. So here's the deal. Everyone's gonna ask me, what do I do? Buy your chickens local. Go to your local farmer's market. Go to your local farms. They are a little bit more expensive, so just eat less or go or or just be resourceful and find deals. But stop buying this shit because it's literally killing you. Speaker 1: When I go to Home Depot and I pull TSP off the shelves, what kind of chemical is that? Speaker 6: So when you grab TSP at Home Depot, you're holding trisodium phosphate. It's a heavy duty cleaner, often used to degrease and prep surfaces before painting. Powerful stuff. Just use it with care. Speaker 1: What's the caution label say? Speaker 6: The caution label on TSP usually warns about skin and eye irritation. So gloves and goggles are a must. It'll also say not to inhale the dust and to keep it away from kids. Basically, respect the power and you'll be good. Speaker 1: What if you eat it? Speaker 6: If you ingest TSP, it's no joke. It can cause serious irritation. Think burns in your mouth, throat and stomach. The label will tell you to seek medical help immediately. No waiting. Speaker 1: So yeah, definitely not a seasoning. Speaker 1: But if you go down the rabbit hole on that one, it's gonna say that it's a different type and it's the safe version and the FDA would never allow that specific one in your food. Just a different one. So when they put it in like rotisserie chicken, they're probably just putting safe amounts of it. Speaker 6: Oh no, don't worry. They're not putting TSP in your rotisserie chicken. That'd be a disaster. Some food safe phosphates might be used in processing, totally different and regulated, but the cleaning product TSP strictly for walls, not wings. Speaker 1: Are you sure it's not the same thing? Because a lot of reels say it's the same thing. Speaker 6: Yeah. I get why those reels pop up, but trust me, food grade phosphates and TSP cleaner are not the same. The food versions are heavily regulated for safety. If they try tossing the Home Depot stuff in your chicken, the FDA would have a feel day. So no worries. Speaker 1: I'm telling you guys, it's a deep dive in half. Make informed decisions. Realize that these big companies are all about making the money, not about bringing you the safest product. And trust me, it's a little bit of a stab to me too because I like easy, I like tasty and we need that sometimes. But in this case, they may have jumped through too many hoops too many times, and it's putting Us consumers possibly in a bad position. Speaker 1: I've got two other great videos. If you guys didn't see these videos, you gotta watch these. These will blow your mind equally as much. Please let me know what you think down in the comments. Thumbs up. Share this out and subscribe because I've got a lot more coming down the pipe. Keep prepping, keep learning, keep doing. We'll see you guys on the next one.

Be cautious when shopping at grocery stores, especially in the produce aisle. Look out for the label "Apeel," a product funded by the World Economic Forum and Bill Gates, which is sprayed on fruits and vegetables nearing spoilage to make them appear fresh. This coating, approved for USDA organic produce as "OrganiPeal," contains monoandiglycerides and hazardous solvents like ethyl acetate and heptane, which can harm internal organs. The World Health Organization has classified one of its ingredients as probably carcinogenic. This raises concerns about the nutritional value of treated food. It's essential to prioritize organic, local, and chemical-free options. Consider growing your own food or supporting local farmers to avoid these harmful practices.

Today, we'll discuss why avoiding flavoring is crucial. The problem lies in the uncertainty surrounding the origin of flavoring. It could be labeled as natural, artificial, or organic, but it's actually a proprietary blend containing up to 13,000 chemicals. These additives are designed to manipulate our minds and make us addicted to products like Pepsi, Coca Cola, fast food, and candy bars. One specific flavoring, Hek293, is derived from fetal cells. It's used by various companies including Kraft, Pepsi, Nestle, Cadbury, and others. It's essential to be mindful of this when supporting these companies. Always read the ingredients and avoid products that contain the term "flavor."

Speaker 1 discusses Kerrygold and grass-fed butter, saying Kerrygold is facing heat after admitting their grass-fed cows are fed genetically modified corn and soy for weeks at a time. Speaker 2 adds that one Kerrygold block carries months of industrial residue, and asserts that the grass-fed label is not 100% accurate. The claim continues that for months, these cows are also fed lab-engineered rations, driving inflammatory omega-6s straight into the spread. Speaker 0 notes that when people look at healthy foods like grass-fed butter, they pay more believing it’s better, less inflammatory, with fewer omega-6s. The belief is challenged by the claim that one of the largest suppliers of grass-fed butter is not feeding their cows grass but GMO corn and GMO soy. The discussion labels this as consumer fraud at the highest levels and expresses a wish that the government would take action. Speaker 2 specifies that in 2023 Kerrygold was pulled from shelves for leaching PFA chemicals from the packaging, adding another layer to the controversy. Overall, the speakers allege that Kerrygold’s grass-fed butter involves cows fed GMO corn and soy for extended periods, with cows receiving lab-engineered rations that increase omega-6 inflammatory content, and that the product was retracted in 2023 due to PFA chemicals in the packaging. They frame the situation as consumer fraud tied to premium pricing for grass-fed butter, and call for governmental intervention.
