Milk Scandal

Recently I was into my new addiction, milk. But it was abruptly ended with incredibly shocking news about milks imported from China (no offense to people from China). At first I thought that it was just the non-commercial milks that were affected by this so called “milk scandal”. So, you probably know what I am talking about right now. Yes, it’s the melamine found in dairy or milk products from China.

I checked this melamine thing that is so popular right now. According to Mr. Wikipedia and Wise Geek, Melamine is an organic compound that is often combined with formaldehyde to produce melamine resin, a synthetic polymer which is fire resistant and heat tolerant. Melamine resin is a very versatile material with a highly stable structure. In other words, it’s one main component to create a resin. You use this resin to create floor tiles, Pet water bottles, white boards, fire resistant fabrics and commercial filters. It sure is very useful for industrial applications.

But this compound is not for human’s consumption. And this compound is slightly soluble in water, so you know what I mean. According to our country’s health department kidney stones is the main consequence of exposure to this compound. And in China children that drink and still drink milk were the ones greatly affected by this. And our Bureau of Food and Drugs advised the consumers not to buy, for the time being, milk or any product suspected to have a milk ingredient from China until further notice or until this Bureau have tested the samples or come up with the list of the products that are not safe and fit for human consumption.

One of my friends posted a bulletin regarding products that was recalled due to China’s milk situation. Let me just make myself clear here, this information is not guaranteed to be reliable or from a reliable source. Here is the message, just want to share it.
