MARS CANDY KILLS



Right now, Mars is funding a study at the University of California, San Francisco, in which experimenters force-feed rats by shoving plastic tubes down their throats. The animals are then killed and cut open.

-Force mice to swim in a pool of water and paint and find a hidden platform to avoid drowning—only to be killed later

-Surgically attach plastic tubes to guinea pigs' carotid arteries and inject cocoa ingredients into their jugular veins to induce dramatic decreases in blood pressure

-Force rabbits to eat high-cholesterol diets with varying amounts of cocoa and then cut out and examine primary blood vessels to their hearts

Not one of these tests is required by law for candy.
