China's milk scandal : do you know what is melamine?!


Question: China's milk scandal : do you know what is melamine!?
Yes, it's the stuff that gave its name to the rock-hard plastic dishes it is used to produce!. It equally effectively turns milk powder into kidney stones!.Www@FoodAQ@Com


Answers:
Melamine, normally found in plastics, is not meant for human consumption - Melamine by itself is nontoxic in low doses, but when combined with cyanuric acid it can cause fatal kidney stones!.

Chinese milk producers added it to their product to hike the protein content!. They had to hike the protein because they had watered down their milk!.

The same chemical was found in a pet food additive, imported from China, that sickened and killed animals last year in the U!.S!.

as with any artificial food something is always added to make it the right (or wrong!) constancy regardless of the health risk, always down to the greed of these companies making these products!.
