Sorry, but he makes me angry, and teary-eyed for all the cats and dogs who have died. If guilty, he should be forced to eat melamine for 12 weeks.

I have not seen one study about the effects of slow long term poisoning of melamine and a human. Do we think we are so special...believe me if your dog is effected be consuming melamine....so are you....you are an animal too! There are not tests available...please produce them before such a flippant comment is made. Here is the deal ...do you see the N in the above formula....this will cause a spike of this nitorgen to the immune system and an automatic antigen response is required by the human immune system. Look at any animal and or Bovine study reagrding improper food with a high nitrogen content...all the animals are sick. This is a huge problem for the world due to global warming and weather pattern changes now occurring. We were not poisoned by mother nature we are being poisoned by the Chinese....... the doctors are laughing all the way to the bank as all your friends are diagnosed with auto immune diseases like diabetes, cancer, lupus etc....should I go on? Humans are dumb animals! Obewan What is this comment that this is not toxic to humans? I have not seen one study about the effects of slow long term poisoning of melamine and a human.

It does not read 75% protein, which one might expect. 75% food grade implies that 25% is not food grade substances doesn't it? The invoice reads Wital Wheat Gluten, 75% food grade.

It does not read 75% protein, which one might expect.

75% food grade implies that 25% is not food grade substances doesn’t it?

Then that is their right. I just don't want to stress over whether my coffee cup was painted with lead paint, or my childs lunchbox has lead or even the vitamins I might take. Much easier if I just don't buy China stuff. Not that I can avoid all bad things. But then I can't just ignore what I know either. Just visit the FDA website and go to imports then buy country. Choose China and see what they HAVE caught. Oh, and India is just as bad. I never knew spices could have salmonella contamination. I am an equal opportunity boycotter. LOL Shelly

Would be very interesting to see if melamine showed up in a humans urine. I think that in itself would stop this insane assumption that "Well, no one has died from it (even though we haven't tested anyone) mentality. The best way to stop the importation of Chinese items is to just not buy it...period. The demand goes down, so do the imports. We know alot now about who imports these kinds of ingredients. Use that knowledge!!!! And it doesn't stop at food. Anything that says "Made in China" must be left on the shelf or you risk contamination from various other things. Lead paint on dinnerware, on child lunchboxes, in vitamins. Just say NO! Anyone have a very close relationship with their Dr. or maybe a Dr. or Medical Lab person in their family?
