Got Milk? Tainted milk that is....

The milk that we have been drinking for the past 6 months has been withdrawn this week because it has been proven to be tainted with Melamine.   Melamine is used in the making of plastics and is high in nitrogen, which registers as protein in tests of milk.  Though health experts believe that ingesting small amounts poses no danger, melamine can cause kidney stones. " Some farmers who sell milk to Chinese food companies are thought to have used melamine to disguise watered-down milk and fatten profit margins hurt by rising costs for feed, fuel and labor.", so says the UB Post. 
   SO we dumped out what we had at home, and we are just prying that none of us get sick from the milk we have been drinking.
