China’s Contaminated Milk Scandal — Causes Kidney Stones In Babies?
By The Mouse Potato | September 25, 2008
It is a very alarming news for us consumers mainly here at Asia that China’s milk products
are contaminated and had already been the cause of kidney stones on Chinese babies.
We all know that China’s products are very popular due to the fact that it costs a lot
less than the famous brands. But I think that the cost cutting actions have already brought up its effects.
Just imagine here at the Philippines, because of the current status of our government, the people - given the choice between a branded and china-made item, would choose the latter.
Be a vigilant consumer. You should know news like this one. Especially that health is at risk.Here is an excerpt from yahoo news

China’s milk scandal bares government shortcomings
BEIJING – The note posted in July on the Web site of China’s food safety inspection agency came from a doctor: There had been a sudden rise in infants turning up at his hospital with kidney stones after drinking the same brand of formula.
The warning, which urged an investigation, went unheeded. In the two weeks since China began piecemeal reporting about contamination of the milk supply, a picture has emerged of official indifference, greed and government dysfunction.
Among the startling details: the practice of adulterating milk was widely known in the industry, and one dairy knew since late last year that its formula was sickening children.
The revelations have dismayed a broad segment of the public - parents - who feel the government has breached their trust. Tens of thousands of children have sought medical care, nearly 13,000 have been hospitalized and four infants have died.
