Melamine in Milk???

I was just in kitchen, when suddenly, I heard about the news on TV. I bet many people have heard about babies getting sick because of the tainted Chinese milk. It is very bad news, and it effects everyone in the world especially people in China. As I’ve heard, and searched, 6,244 infants are ill, 158 are suffering a kidney failure, 54,000 infants have developed kidney stones, and 4 have died. All these infants are getting sick because of the melamine in the Chinese milk. Melamine is a chemical that is used in plastics, and fertilizing, it is not suppose to be in milk. The milk brands made in China that are positively contained with melamine are, Sanlu, which is one of the nation’s largest maker of milk, and Yili, which sponsored the Beijing Olympics. The thing is, why do they put melamine in the milk? It’s because melamine takes the place of the protein when water is added. So, now, many countries such as, Brunei, Singapore, Malaysia, Hong Kong, and Philippines are testing Chinese dairy products and removing it from the shelves. I just hope that everything will become okay and that people would stop putting chemicals in food just to make profit and cause danger.
