Dangers of melamine

MELAMINE'S level of toxicity is not very high, but it is known to cause urinary problems and bladder stones when consumed, according to Dr Leong Lai Peng, a senior lecturer in the food science and technology programme at the National University of Singapore.

It may also cause cancer, said DrLeong, adding that a research paper has shown that male rats exposed to high dosages developed carcinomas, which are malignant cancers.

Melamine itself contains a lot of nitrogen, which may explain why China infant formula producers added it to their products.

Dr Leong said that when food testers examine products for protein content, they look at nitrogen levels. Adding melamine would make the product look like it had more protein than it actually did.

Cooking does not make melamine less dangerous as its toxicity is not likely to be reduced even after exposure to heat.

It may also react with certain components in food products such as sugar, glucose and fructose, but no studies have been done to examine the results of this reaction, said Dr Leong.

How to Prevent a Sore Throat from Progressing to a Cold


Before I share a great little tip on how to stop a sore throat from progressing into a week-long cold, please know that periodically experiencing a cold or the flu can actually be helpful to your health. If you have no idea why this is, please view the following popular article that I wrote on this topic:


What Most Doctors Won't Tell You About Colds and Flus

You just won't get this information on why colds and flus can help you stay healthy over the long run from medical textbooks and mainstream media - please consider sharing it with family and friends.

Although experiencing a cold or the flu once in a while can help rid your body of your weakest cells, I'm willing to bet that there are times when you would really prefer to delay such a period of cleansing and malaise.

Here's how you can stand a good chance of preventing a cold from developing:

As soon as you experience that sore, tickly feeling in your throat that precedes a full-blown cold, gargle with warm salt water.

And when I say gargle, I mean really gargle; take in a mouthful of warm salt water, look up at the ceiling, and gargle aggressively. You may want to tap at your throat (the Adam's apple region) with your fingers while you gargle to encourage the warm salt water to trickle deeply into your throat.

Gargle like this several times with a glass of warm salt water, and repeat as often as possible throughout the day.

Warm salt water can remove viruses from the tonsils and adenoids that line the back of your throat region. Viruses that cause colds and flus typically get caught by your tonsils and adenoids before they spread through your body. Your tonsils and adenoids are important parts of your immune system because they are located near the entrance of your breathing passages, and they serve as a first line of defense against undesirable airborne microorganisms and substances.

This, by the way, is why it is best not to remove tonsils and adenoids from your throat region. Chronic swelling of tonsils and adenoids is best addressed by reducing sugar intake, adopting a minimally processed diet that is rich in fresh plant foods, and supporting immune system health by getting plenty of rest, exercise, and exposure to sunlight and fresh air.

Cold salt water may also help to remove viruses from your tonsils and adenoids, but warm salt water tends to be more effective. Warm water may help to melt the fatty coating that protects viruses that cause the cold and flu.

What if you gargle for all you're worth but still end up developing a full-blown cold?

Get lots of rest, drink plenty of fluids, and take comfort in knowing that countless viruses are at work destroying your weakest cells. And don't forget to blow your nose as often as it runs; help your body get rid of what it wants to get rid of.

Out of Sight?

Yesterday came in office earlier so thinking of continue my Photo album designing. Bt i cant find my Pix folders...total i save 3 big folders in my PC juz days b4 & it was still ard b4 i switch off my PC a day b4.

Melamine?

This article is about the chemical substance called melamine. The term "melamine" may also be used to refer to melamine resin, a plastic made from melamine and formaldehyde.
Not to be confused with melanin, a pigment found in skin and hair, or with melatonin, a naturally occurring hormone regulating the circadian rhythms of most animals.

Melamine is an organic base with the chemical formula C3H6N6, with the IUPAC name 1,3,5-triazine-2,4,6-triamine. It is only slightly soluble in water.

Melamine is a trimer of cyanamide. Like cyanamide, it is 66% nitrogen (by mass) and provides fire retardant properties to resin formulas by releasing nitrogen when burned or charred. Dicyandiamide (or cyanoguanidine), the dimer of cyanamide, is also used as a fire retardant.

Melamine is a metabolite of cyromazine, a pesticide. It is formed in the body of mammals who have ingested cyromazine.[2] It was also reported that cyromazine is converted to melamine in plants.[3][4]

Our Bundle of Joy

Since Nov07, Jae had brought us many joys, with her ard, we are constantly busy.

Nw she won’t want to be trap in her walker. She loves to be able to crawl ard and stand whenever she has the chance. She will be extreme happy if she is able to stand up all by herself.

She loves to see her picture. Nw we paste our photos on our coffee table, she is so happy keep crawl to that table to see. If she sees pictures of others…she is very happy too.

She loves to observe. When I bring her out, she will look at things and turn to us as if she wan us to tell her wat’s that…last week I pt to her that there’s butterfly/bees flying ard the flower on the floor or trees, this week she keep looking at them…

Nw I teach her to point where is her hand/arm, she knows bt after awhile when I ask her again, she ignore me. SO NOTTI!

She always point to herself when I say I am Jaelyn mummy. I guess she is telling me that she is Jaelyn n I am her mummy. J

If she see other bb who is sitting in stroller, screaming, she will nt join in…bt keep staring at that bb. I guess she is thinking ‘Y this bb so impatient?? Haha!

Special Outing on Fri Afternoon!

Then go back mum place, jaelyn was in her walker…looking at mum who is doing things in kitchen, she was so happy to see us. Then I help fried egg…BAD try…nt nice at all.:( After a while brother came back(he take MC again), and ask hub to play mahjong haizzz…hub drive me, Jae and mum to IMM then go back for mahjong.

When at IMM quickly get things done and went for hair cut at JEANYIP…as it indicate $19.90 for haircut. Really HAIRCUT, no wash no blow(I accept), wen I ask to cut my fringe, that TOOPIG hair stylist say he cant cut bcos I never wash hair … I wanna scold him …other place even if u dun wash, they spray water on the hair and comb and cut…still try to make $$$ out of me… ask me go for hair analyze, ask me buy tonics, shampoo and go for their TREATMENT,really TOO PIG, bt anyhow the hair cut quite nice lah…gt some style lor. After hair cut went to hv dessert and mum say she wan to eat mee…so order and I had a French toast with icecream…really BIG BIG serving…, jae who is sleepy, see my bread, gt so excited. B4 ice-cream melt I quickly peel off the clean pure bread for her…she so happy. Jae so poor thing, so sleepy yet dun wan to sleep…she stare at a place for so long till we suspect she muz hv fall asleep…wen I see her, her eye half close alredi…haha….i quickly lie her dw & pat her sleep. After our dessert…I feel so much energetic…went BEST to search for gift for hub auntie, saw a toaster/oven, $60++ quite nice bt…hub nt ard to decide can’t do decision as worry MIL make noise again. Went GIANT shop ard…found a pram at $50, think will buy 1 for jae at my mum place as the existing 1 so LOG KOK.

My feeling for JAE

I find jae has my temper. Last week, If I pinch or beat her bcos she blink blink eyes, she blink even more and seem like she will purposely blink more infront of me.

This week I use different approach, after I beat her I dun use say dun blink eye, I will say to her, mummy say to u, id u do this, this is nt right, y u wan to do wrong thing? Dun do it anymore…k? She might blink 1 more time, I will pretend nt to see it. N Sunday proves I am right, she blink in the morning and stop after I talk to her. So happy.

Now She wan to snatch my specs, I try to talk to her, muz try a few times b4 she really understand as sometimes she thinks I am playing with her. Maybe I must hv more ferocious look...
