Health Post : Kidney Stoned by Milk!

Someone I know has kidney stones and his friend wickedly asks him to make a necklace of it, just like Angulimala had made a garland out of the little fingers that he chopped off his victims. Talking about kidney stones; now, it is not only adults who have it. Little babies in China too. For the last two or three days, I have heard in the radio that little babies have developed kidney stones as a result of consuming a milk formula which contains melamine; something that has been added to aid digestion. A Turkish newspaper reported that 432 of the Chinese babies have the dreaded stone that leads to kidney failure but another source said at least six thousand are affected. Now, besides watching what one eats, perhaps it is high time that babies are breastfed!
