Comments on: Trace Melamine Found In U.S. Baby Formula

Same Chemical Fatally Added To Chinese Formula; FDA Says Amount Detected Here Is "Perfectly Fine"

First, chlorine and chloride are not the same thing. Second, NaCl is an ionic compound

Out to prove once again what an ignorant doofus you are???

"Cl" is chlorine. Chlorine is chlorine. "Chloride" refers to "A binary compound of chlorine."

Chloride is chlorine.

You are an imbecile.

Melamine in baby formula????

QUICK RUN TO WAL-MART AND BUY ALL YOU CAN!

WE WANT TO BE LIKE CHINA! WE WANT TO BE LIKE CHINA! WE WANT TO BE LIKE CHINA!

Bill Clinton and the rest of the globalization advocates must be SO PROUD.

I used to worry about the Chinese invading the US once Bush weakened our country enough. But they were much smarter than that, they can poison us at the same time our government is shooting us in the head. They can sit back and wait for us to implode while they laugh all the way to the bank.

[shochikibo]

our first responsibility is to our shareholders. we are mere _consumers_ whose quality of life is less important than corp profits and exec pay. business leaders? look where they have led us.

If you sue a company for making melamine, you''''d have to sue the entire chemical industry for making everything.

No, no... Don''t sue them for making Melamine, you sue them for selling this toxic substance as healthy Baby Food.... They are Liable for the damages their product causes, just like if I sold you a car that explodes on impact (Ford Pinto)...

There is no reason explainable for Melamine to be an ANY FOOD at all. It is a PLASTIC and Toxic (just ask the Chinese mothers)...

The only reason you would find this poison in food is to increase the protien reading of the food so it can be sold for more MONEY $$$$$$$

It''s all about money...

Now my 11 month old has been using Similac formula and now I worry about her ingesting this POISON...


Remember, only 18 samples were tested out of how many MILLIONS sold?

avoice: thank you for enlightening usclimey. ignorance like that should be embarrassing.

[littlebit123]

Leave to the Bush Admininstration''s FDA to protect and defend the CORPORATIONS rather than the consumer/taxpayer and the innocent infants. ABSOLUTELY DISGRACEFUL! Yet another manifestation of our nation and culture not in decline but in absolute free fall and past the edge of the abyss when corporations'' bottom lines and images are more important than its citizens, not to mention innocents. God help us.

What has to happen is a class action lawsuit against the companies making/selling this poison.

Melamine has been manufactured since 1956 - it is used in making synthetic resins and plastics. Thousands upon thousands of so-called toxic chemicals are manufactured every day and are used by society by the megaton in the compounds that are made with them. Take table salt for example. Chemical formula sodium chloride. Au naturelle, sodium is a metal that catches fire on contact with water while chlorine is a highly toxic gas used in WWI. Stick them together they''re table salt!!

If you sue a company for making melamine, you''d have to sue the entire chemical industry for making everything. You think the world''s in trouble now - shut down the chemical industry and see what happens.

This will get the attention of the FDA as they never want any harm to come to any company.

enough is enough. Company profits need to take a back seat to safety. (not really an issue of safety but just stop poisoning our childred for f''''n profits!)

====================
Bush granted them a presidential pardon liberal. Haha!

[incog-nito]

Statement from FDA: "Melamine may be bad for Chinese babies, but should be no cause for concern here. American kids are tough and can handle any poison our corporations dish out."

[usclimey]

More scare tactics. With today''s instrumentation such small amounts of material can be detected that, if you look hard enough, you''d be able to find trace amounts of any chemical you''d care to look for in everything. Plants often have trace amounts of really deadly chemicals that they produce themselves. My favorite example is alfalfa sprouts - these contain a chemical called Aflatoxin A. In some test Afla A has been shown to be 100 times more carcinogenic than dioxin. Ban Alfalfa anyone?

Sure - it is truly awful that the Chinese companies have spiked their milk with melamine. However, they used 100 to 1000 times the levels mentioned here.

Oh and to the guy who keeps on going on about aspartame - read some original literature on the stuff - don''t blindly follow everything you read on the web.

[lady_organs]

Shut up you liberals, melamine is perfectly fine! Bush says so!

[psk123-2009]

No level of poison is an acceptable level of poison. ESPECIALLY when we are talking about OUR babies and children. I am disgusted with our FDA.

[impeach___w]

Nothing from China is to be trusted, Nor the FDA. Lawsuits and revenge are the only thing that will get their attention I''m afriad to conclude.

[get_it_str8]

Trust the FDA....they''ll kill ya.

[asor1-2009]

Dear Mothers, do NOT feed your precious baby these formulas.... period.
The FDA has betrayed us before and will/is again. NO level is a "safe level" of this poison.

[tincup356]

to eggy 1620,who is telling you life expectancy is getting longer? is it the tooth fairy or is it our government who lies about anything and everything? just remember there were WMD, Osama did it, the economy is just fine,the moon is made of cheese,and Washington wont lie to us, lies brought to us by the same people who are poisoning us...The FDA, and our government.

[eggy1620]

If we are continuously being poisoned by corporations and our government, why are our life expectancies getting longer?

[tincup356]

to lastdance,want see something scary,check out info on Aspartame, originally made for chemical warfare,the FDA approved it for use in artificial sweeteners, and medicines in the late 80,s. It has been linked to causing diabetes,one side effect is causing irreversible allergy reactions to other medications,nothing but poison brought to you from our government courtesy of Donald Rumsfeld.

[estabwary]

Amazing how they think people will feel OK with this just because they say so.
