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. |

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. |

"The same stuff that harmed and killed 10s of thousands of pets in '07. "Not to mention that it killed thousands of Chinese kids who drank tainted milk just this year... but yeah, let's name the pets. |

It's been said enough. Melamine won't do any significant damage unless you eat a lot of it. The dogs and babies that died in previous melamine contamination scares were all in a situation where the contaminated food was pretty much all they ate. Contaminated Halloween candy is not such a situation. So unless you're one of those idiots who eats all his Halloween candy at once, there's nothing to worry about. |

and what exactly says that these products are made in china? The melamine was placed in the milk powder in china, but where does it say that these thigs were made in china? The domo might be from there but that doesn't necessarily mean that it was made there. |

why didnt he just have the products tested? then he would have some proof and some credibility. as he said: when he made the video he still had one and a half weeks till halloween.
and I'm going to hell for laughing at "candy 9/11"
oh well...I'm safe here in europe |

Heh heh. May be that quote "Whatever doesn't kill you makes you stronger" is not true after all. Someone should get Michael Moore to make a documentary on this. Anyone in for nuking China? |
