I don't know if anyone already said this, I only read a couple comments, and they were wrong. Melamine is not about "creaminess" or "the lack of cows". Where do you think the milk comes from if they don`t have cows? What they do is take the milk, and water it down to make better profits... but that reduces the amount of protein in the milk, and when they run their normal tests, it wouldn`t pass for quality. So they need to make it look like there is more protein. This is where Melamine comes in. Melamine increases the nitrogen levels in the "milk". It just so happens that the protein tests look for, primarily, nitrogen levels. So it looks like its good whole healthy protein rich milk, even though its been watered down to nothing. Gotta love that Chinese engenuity. Unfortunately, the result is formation of kidney stones, especially in more susceptible people such as young children and the elderly.

TheBuzzer Well, he needs to get facts stright. Melamine which was put in milk products was used to make milk look more creamy because in China there is a lack of cows to product enough real milk so they have to use milk powder and water which looses the creamy feeling in milk. Melamine is not really that toxic but it does lead to kidney stones if you eat it too much. It isnt children dying but babies because kidney stones are already growing in a baby. There are methods to cleans yourself from that problem is drinking lot of grapefruit juice.
Dude are you on crack. China used Melamine in their watered down milk to fool the protein test into registering a higher protein level that what it actually was because the standard test measures nitrogen content and Melamine is 66% nitrogen. The problem with Melamine is that the body can not process it that is what leads to kidney and renal failure especially in infants because they lack a mature renal system.

Why would a company put melamine in candy? Isn't it used to make milk more nutritious? Not too many people care how healthy candy is. Also, that guy is irritating on an extreme level.
