Melamine Scare

Products across the globe containing milk imported from china seem to have been affected. Authorities from different countries including the Philippines are withdrawing milk formula, candies, soup, coffee & tea drinks, etc in the market believed to be contaminated with melamine.

Melamine is a man-made substance commonly employed in a variety of industrial products and processes. It is sometime added to food products in order to increase protein content as in the case of milk. It causes fatal kidney stones to babies that are not resistant to this kind of toxic in the body. The previous toy and canned goods scandal and other bad image about china's product will really affect the economy of China.

It's good that my other grandaughter is being breastfed by her mother. There's really no more safe place on earth. Let's pray that all this scares will be over soon.
