Melamine

A friend forwarded this to my Gmail and I do agree that it is our human right to know the facts ’bout this “Melamine” and disseminate this relevant information to the public. This is for our safety after all.

Please share this or inform your family and friends for them to be aware.

China milk poisoning incidents make everyone afraid to look at the daily news report. Everyday, the reports are changing. No one can clearly tell us what to eat and not to eat.

1.What really is poisoned milk?It is the milk powder mixed with “MELAMINE”.

What is Melamine use for?

It is an industrial chemical use in the production of melawares.


It is also used in home decoration. “US resistant board”

Melamine is used in industrial production & it cannot be eaten.

2.Why is Melamine added in milk powder?

The most important nutrient in milk is protein. And Melamine has the same protein that contains “NITROGEN”

Adding Melamine in milk reduces milk content and it is cheaper than milk so it lowers capitalization.
It can give the businessman more profit!

Below is Melamine; doesn’t it look like milk? It doesn’t have any smell, so cannot be detected.


3.When was it discovered?

 Year 2007, US cats and dogs died suddenly, they found that pet food from China contains Melamine.

Starting 2008, In China, an abnormal increase in infant cases of kidney stones.

August 2008 China Sanlu Milk Powder tested with Melamine.


Sept. 2008, New Zealand gov’t ask China to check this problem.

Sept. 21, 2008, lots of food products in Taiwan tested with Melamine.

4.What happens when Melamine is digested?

Melamine remains inside the kidney. It forms into stones blocking the tubes. Pain will be eminent and person cannot urinate. Kidney will then swell.

Although surgery can remove the stones, but it will cause irreversible kidney damage.
It can lead to loss of kidney function and will require kidney dialysis or lead to death because of uremia.

What is dialysis? In fact, it should be called “blood washing”; it is filtering all of the body’s blood into
the machine and then go back to the body.

The whole process takes 4 hours and it is necessary to dialysis once for every 3 days for the rest of your life.

Here is a dialysis center:

Large dialysis center


A small hole is required in the arm to insert the sub-dialysis catheter.

Why is it more serious in babies? Because the baby’s kidney is very small and they drink a lot of milk powder.

Here is a baby undergoing dialysis.

China currenty has 13,000 infants hospitalized


It does not matter how much a human being took Melamine. The important point is “It cannot be EATEN!”

5.What are the foods to be avoided?

Foods that contain dairy products should be avoided. Remember: Foods with creamer or milk should be avoided.

6.Which companies are affected?

Hereunder are the companies affected with Melamine:

If you have friends or relatives in China, avoid products from these companies.

7.What do we do next?

Avoid the above foods for at least six months.

If you have snack bar, restaurant or coffee shops, stop selling dairy products for the meantime.

If you have infants at home, change to mother’s milk or find other substitutes.

Finally, share this information with friends so they will understand the risk of milk poisoning.

The whole world is scared of China made ‘black hearted goods’. Can you differentiate which one is made in the USA , Philippines , Taiwan or China ?

Let me tell you how… the first 3 digits of the barcode is the country code wherein the product was made.

Sample all barcodes that start with 690.691.692 until 695 are all MADE IN CHINA. 

471 is Made in Taiwan

This is our human right to know, but the government and related departments never educate the public, therefore we have to RESCUE ourselves.

Nowadays, Chinese businessmen know that consumers do not prefer products ‘made in china’, so they don’t show from which country it is made.

However, you may now refer to the barcode, remember if the first 3 digits is 690-695 then it is Made in China .

00 ~ 13 USA & CANADA
30 ~ 37 FRANCE
40 ~ 44 GERMANY
49 ~ JAPAN
50 ~ UK
57 ~ Denmark
64 ~ Finland
76 ~ Switzerland and Lienchtenstein
628 ~ Saudi-Arabien
629 ~ United Arab Emirates
740 ~ 745 – Central America

All 480 Codes are Made in the Philippines.
