           I got this article through mail from one of my friends. Not sure if whatever is mentioned here is correct or not. If anyone has any idea on this, please provide your comments. 

           China milk poisoning incidents make everyone afraid to look at the daily news report. Everyday, the reports are changing. No one can clearly tell us what to eat and not to eat.

1.What really is poisoned milk?

It is the milk powder mixed with 'MELAMINE'

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Melamine It is an industrial chemical. It is used in the production of melawares.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

It is also used in home decoration.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Do you understand?Melamine is used in industrial production,it cannot be eaten!

2.Why is Melamine added in milk powder?

The most important nutrient in milk is protein. And Melamine contains the same protein as in 'NITROGEN'

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Adding Melamine in milk reduces milk content and it is cheaper than milk so it lowers the capitalization.
It helps the businessman in earning a lot of profit.

Below is Melamine,It looks exactly like milk powder.
it doesn't have any smell, so cannot be detected。

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 3.When was it discovered?

Starting 2008, In China , there an abnormal increase in the cases of infant kidney stones.

In august 2008 China's  Sanlu Milk Powder was testedwith Melamine

In sept. 21, 2008 Lot of food products in Taiwan were tested with Melamine

4.What happens when Melamine is digested?

Melamine remains inside the kidney. It forms into stones blocking the tubes. Pain will be eminent and the 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.

 The whole process of dialysis takes 4 hours and it is necessary to undergo dialysis once in  every 3 days for the rest of your life。

5. Why is it more serious in babies?

Because the kidney is very small and they drink a lot of milk powder.

China currenty has 13,000 infants hospitalized

It does not matter how much a human being consumes Melamine. The important point is 'It cannot be EATEN!'

6.What are the foods to be avoided?

Yes melamine is in the milk powders from China and infant formula. They use it as an addictive as it then tests higher in protein! There are warnings here big time in the US. However, due to elections they are keeping it out of the news. If you do a google you will find the warnings as I just posted the video and links. Shanti/Mary-Anne
