i just could not believe the news that I read from King5.com about infant formula which was imported from China. There is a present of melamine element which this element are using for making plastic wares like plates and etc. The infant formula were contaminated with this and this is dangerous for the babies. Here is the link http://www.king5.com/topstories/stories/NW_091108NAB_fda_tainted_formula_KS.677d4f72.html but you can read it here because I will paste it below:
FDA: Infant formula from China tainted by chemical

WASHINGTON - Federal officials say tainted infant formula from China may be on sale at ethnic groceries in this country. The Food and Drug Administration on Thursday urged U.S. consumers to avoid all infant formula from China, after several brands sold in that country were found to be contaminated with melamine, a chemical used in making plastics. The FDA says all U.S. brands of infant formula are safe.
But officials are concerned that some Chinese formula may be on sale at ethnic groceries, particularly in places like New York and San Francisco that have large populations of Chinese immigrants. No Chinese brands are approved for export to the United States.
There have been no reports of illnesses in the U.S.
Why we will not give to our children a good start by giving a breast milk where nothing to worry about. Aside from those mothers that is taking dangerous medicine because they were ill or drugged. That is the downside but if we are capable to feed our baby why won't do it. Why we let them eat the cow's milk as their start living in this world.
