Better double check with BFAD's advisory which brands (among the ones
mentioned here) are already negative with Melamine before we buy these.
Thank you.
What really is poisoned milk? It's the milk powder mixed with 'MELAMINE'.
What is Melamine Used for? It is an industrial chemical used in production of melawares and home decoration 'US resistant Board'
DO YOU UNDERSTAND?? MELAMINE IS USED IN INDUSTRIAL PRODUCTION, IT CANNOT BE EATEN!!! Why is Melamine added in milk powder? The most important nutrient in milk is protein and Melamine has the same protein that contains nitrogen.
Adding Melamine in milk reduces milk content and it is cheaper then milk so it lowers capitalization. It can give the business man more profit. Below is Melamine, doesn't it look like milk as it also does not have any smell, which is undetected.
4. When was it discovered? 2007 - Cats and dogs died suddenly - they found the pet food from China contains Melamine.
In 2008, abnormality starts to increase in infant cases of kidney stones in China.
In August 2008, China Sanlu milk powder tested with Melamine.
September 2008 - NZ Gov asked China to check this problem - Results: lots of food products in Taiwan tested with Melamine.What happens when Melamine is digested? Melamine remains inside the kidney. It forms into stones blocking the tubes. Pain will be eminent and person cannot urinate. Kidney will then swell.
Although surgery can remove the stones, but it will cause irreversible kidney damage. It can lead to loss of kidney function and will require kidney dialysis or lead to death because of uremia.What is dialysis? Also called 'blood washing' means filtering all the blood in the body into the machine and then go back to the body.
The whole process takes 4 hours and it is necessary to dialysis once for every 3 days for the rest of ur life.
Here's a glimpse of a dialysis centre.
Food and companies affected are as follows.
I really wish to continue this... but having to say Melamine is bad for all, in short.Anyway, I'll be signing off by leaving u guys a riddle.
Five Frogs are sitting on a log. Four decide to jump off. How many are left??
Some of you might know the answer, so have fun~~~

Actually.
I will be debating REgulate The Use of melamine in my university
But then, i discover that only HK has the rules that regulate the use of melamine in food and other plastic industrial products.
but then, China..they dunhave it.That's y will happen this kind of things that scare the whole world just about melamine..now it appears in vegetables like kai lan because use as fertilizers and also eggs.
BiologicalClockTicking: China food are always huge and FRESH... You get to see those vegetables selling in supermarket, comparing the price of China and Australia Vege. Usually Aussie Vege are more expesive while china's vege price is always divide by 4. Super cheap. Rumors has it that some of the farm in China where the land are particularly used to plant these vege with LOTS of chemical substances tat can fattened up the Vege.
Waka: There's a saying about China food => everything are edible as long as it won't "KILL". though melamine is long term effect disease, eventually it slowly torture human till the end of time. I'm avoiding all China products since long time, especially CHina fuji apple and all those luncheon meat. One thing i can't avoid is that I still have china colleague.. haha..
Well good to know! I never actually read the entire melamine scandal so it's good to have someone piece the entire thing together :)
Eh, would that be five frogs left?
savante: I would really wanna come up with more information next time. And guess what, up till now, you the only one who actually answer my question.. well, that's correct though. =)
Five frogs...Trying to figure out how to come out with this answer. I did try to answer this but you know, some people are not that intelligent..hehe.
Kenny: It's not about ppl smart or not.. it's about whether we understand the decision made =)
