# Mars is currently funding an experiment on rats at the University of California, San Francisco, to determine the effect of chocolate ingredients on the animals' blood vessels, even though the experimenter admits that studies have already been done using humans. Experimenters force-feed the rats by shoving plastic tubes down their throats and then cut open the rats' legs to expose an artery, which is clamped shut to block blood flow. After the experiment, the animals are killed.
# Mars funded a deadly experiment on mice that was published in a 2007 issue of the Journal of Neuroscience in which mice were fed flavanols (phytochemicals that are found in chocolate) and forced to swim in a pool of water mixed with white paint to hide a submerged platform, which the mice had to find in order to avoid drowning, only to be killed and dissected later on.
# In one experiment supported by Mars and conducted by the current Mars, Inc., endowed chair in developmental nutrition at the University of California, Davis, rats were fed cocoa and anesthesized with carbon dioxide so that blood could be collected by a needle injected directly into the heart—a procedure criticized by U.S. Department of Agriculture researcher Dr. William T. Golde, who notes: "This is not a simple method. ... Missing the heart or passing the needle completely through the heart could lead to undetected internal bleeding or other complications."
# Mars supported a cruel experiment to learn how a chocolate ingredient called PQQ affects metabolism by cramming baby mice into 200-milliliter Plexiglas metabolic chambers—around half the size of a 12-ounce soda can—and then submerging the chamber for nearly five hours in a chilled water bath, inducing labored breathing in the distressed mice. Experimenters then shoved tubes down the mice's throats every day for 10 days to force-feed them the PQQ,after which they were killed and cut up for analysis.

  • i never boutgh mars. i never will

  • This video is still being bias, first I agree that it is very cruel to do so. Secondly if we don't test on animals, what do we test on? [There are very limited alternatives, that don't involve animal testing] Are you willing to be the first to be tested on? Third, we are the motherfucking customers. Fourth, protesting on youtube is futile, acting like a saint here doesn't show anything. Look into the mirror, aren't you just as selfish? Period.

  • How the hell did i get this fro mlookign up Northern fur seals WTF

  • fuck this world

  • Im not eating mars products again D:

  • @WindUpHearts But we can make a termanater cat! and he can destory all of mice you fool! you will kill us all!

  • @lookinghigh i am alive do to testing

  • i love mars bars and will eat them as i see fit. but this is why i think animal testing is good. get this you want to die from some thing that man makes and kills you. please think of this. i am sick i have many things wrong with me and animal blood is use to keep me well as it is where they get insulin.

  • @framecut It's ironic you should say that. Some diabetes is caused because of genetics but the other type is caused by a poor diet. Sugar is especially poisonous and is useless for much beyond rotting your teeth.

    This video is called "Mars Candy Kills." (Not Mars medicines)

    Aside from that, we've tested all of the chemicals we need to in the products we use. There's not much we need to create.

    The data collected from unfavorable experiments is often ignored. They do it for liability reasons.
