 Mars Candy Kills! Got a sweet tooth? Think twice before picking up a Mars candy bar!
You should know that candymaker Mars, Inc.—creator of M&M's,
Snickers, Twix, Dove, Three Musketeers, Starburst, Skittles, and other candies—funds deadly animal tests, even though there are more reliable human studies and not one of the tests is required by law.
Mars
recently funded a deadly experiment on rats to determine the effects of
chocolate ingredients on their blood vessels. Experimenters force-fed
the rats by shoving plastic tubes down their throats and then cut open
the rats' legs to expose an artery, which was clamped shut to block
blood flow. After the experiment, the animals were killed. Mars has
also funded cruel experiments in which mice were fed a candy ingredient
and forced to swim in a pool of a water mixed with white paint. The
mice had to find a hidden platform to avoid drowning, only to be killed
and dissected later on. In yet another experiment supported by Mars,
rats were fed cocoa and anesthetized with carbon dioxide so that their
blood could be collected by injecting a needle directly into their
hearts, which can lead to internal bleeding and other deadly
complications.
