Melamine is an organic base chemical most commonly found in the form of white crystals rich in nitrogen
Melamine is widely used in plastics, adhesives, countertops, dishware, whiteboards.
In China, where adulteration has occurred, water has been added to raw milk to increase its volume. As a result of this dilution the milk has a lower protein concentration. Companies using the milk for further production (e.g. of powdered infant formula) normally check the protein level through a test measuring nitrogen content. The addition of melamine increases the nitrogen content of the milk and therefore its apparent protein content.
Addition of melamine into food is not approved by the FAO/WHO Codex Alimentarius (food standard commission), or by any national authorities.
While there are no direct human studies on the effect of melamine data from animal studies can be used to predict adverse health effects. Melamine alone causes bladder stones in animal tests. When combined with cyanuric acid, which may also be present in melamine powder, melamine can form crystals that can give rise to kidney stones.
These small crystals can also block the small tubes in the kidney potentially stopping the production of urine, causing kidney failure and, in some cases, death. Melamine has also been shown to have carcinogenic effects in animals in certain circumstances, but there is insufficient evidence to make a judgment on carcinogenic risk in humans.
The other day, one net pal shared a book Speak English Like An American (PDF) with me. Meantime, she sent me the audio files. I do appreciate it. I have to say it is really a good book.

Once there were three turtles. One day they decided to go on a picnic. Then they got there, they realized they had forgotten the soda. The
youngest turtle said he would go home and get it if they wouldn't eat the
sandwiches until he got back. A week went by, then a month, finally a year, when the two turtles said, "Oh, come on, let's eat the sandwiches." Suddenly the little turtle popped up from behind a rock and said, "If you do, I won't go!"
I heard of Dollar Tree for the first time from Esteban. He did a part-time job there during the summar vacation. It is said that Dollar Tree is an American chain of retail stores, in which all goods are sold at $1 at most. And he told me most of goods are made in China. Oh-oh... Many different kinds of items. For example, food, drink, kitchen items, living goods, ect. I guess, it is similar to 2-yuan store in China. The policy is: Small profits and quick returns.
