"White Rabbit creamy candy" found to contain melamine
Singapore's Agri-Food and Veterinary Authority (AVA) has said that its laboratory test have shown that the "White Rabbit Creamy Candy" from China is also contaminated with melamine.
The latest test results bring the total number of milk and related products from China imported into Singapore that are found to be contaminated with melamine to three.
The other two affected products are "Yili Brand" Choice Dairy Fruit Bar Yogurt Flavoured Ice Confection" and "Dutch Lady" brand of strawberry flavoured milk.

Too late, many people have already used it. Also, there are many repeaters, routers all around us. Wireless internet, handphone etc all have radiation. Even if we don't use it, our neighbours are using it. If it is close range, then it can be avoided. If it is exposure, then no way we can avoid.

Just for info sharing....Melamine mixed in Chins milk product has causing >50,000 sick babies taken to hospital and in Taiwan Melamine is mixe, forces all-out ban.
Bright Oranges and Greenish Leafy Vegetables can help as d study done by Alexandra Hospital homed in on 46 patients with age-related masular degeneration (AMD) in which the centre of he retina called the macula- which enables the eye to see detail - deteriorates, resulting in blurred vision and even blindness.

By the way.....since 1869. Butter history is longer. A butter substitute developed and patented by French chemist Hippolyte Mège-Mouriés in 1869. His creation was the result of a contest promoted by the Emperor Napoleon III to find an inexpensive alternative for the then scarce and expensive butter. Although the original version included beef fat renderings, today's margarines are based on vegetable oils (seefats and oils). In order for margarine to become solid, the oil must undergo a chemical transformation known as hydrogenation-indicated as "hydrogenated" (or "partially hydrogenated") oils on a label. During hydrogenation, extra hydrogen atoms are pumped into unsaturated fat, a process that creates trans fatty acids
Here another storey: Margarine was originally manufactured to fatten turkeys (is that d truth?). When it killed the turkeys, the people who had put all the money into the research wanted a payback so they put their heads together to figure out what to do with this product to get their money back. It was a white substance with no food appeal so they added the yellow coloring and sold it to people to use in place of butter. How do you like it? They have come out with some clever new flavorings.
An unsaturated fatty acid produced by the partial hydrogenation of vegetable oils and present in hardened vegetable oils, most margarines, commercial baked foods, and many fried foods. An excess of these fats in the diet is thought to raise the cholesterol level in the bloodstream.
Some researchers believe such foods may actually be more damaging than regular saturated fats to those watching their cholesterol, saying trans fatty acids decrease the good (HDL) cholesterol and increase the bad LDLs. Other scientists argue that the evidence is inconclusive and that trans fatty acids are no worse than butter. In either case, it would seem that "moderation" is the watchword
Margin of safety..All credit to milk scare..made in China consumer products...milk..Dutch label branded somemore...so.... mixed with melamine.....Food for tot, true or not..is your take.
A fatty solid butter substitute consisting of a blend of hydrogenated vegetable oils mixed with emulsifiers, vitamins, coloring matter, and other ingredients.
An emulsified fatty food product used as a spread and a baking and cooking fat, consisting of an aqueous phasedispersed in the fat as a continuous phase. Developed originally as a butter substitute, margarine is now considered a food in its own right and is manufactured in forms unknown to butter, such as plastic, soft, or fluid. However, margarine is colored, flavored, fortified with vitamins, and otherwise formulated to have the same or similar taste, appearance, and nutritional value as butter. See alsoButter.
Currently, margarine produced in the United States must contain not less than 80% fat. The fats and oils must be edible but may be from any vegetable or animal carcass source, natural or hydrogenated. The required aqueous phase may be water, milk, or solutions of dairy or vegetable protein, and must be pasteurized. Vitamin A must be added to yield a finished margarine with not less than 15,000 international units per pound (0.45 kg). Optional ingredients include salt or potassium chloride for low-sodium diets, nutritive sweeteners, fatty emulsifiers, antioxidants, preservatives, edible colors, flavors, vitamin D, acids, and alkalies. See alsoFat and oil (food).
Another word, it is a mean food in it own right and is manufactured in forms unknown to butter, such as plastic, soft, or fluid.
(Butterine, lardine, oleomargarine.) Emulsion of about 80% vegetable, animal, and/or marine fats and 20% water, originally as a substitute for butter. Usually contains emulsifiers, anti-spattering agents, colours, vitamins A and D (sometimes E), and preservatives. Ordinary margarines contain roughly equal parts of saturated, mono-unsaturated, and polyunsaturated fatty acids; special soft varieties are rich in polyunsaturates. The energy yield is the same as that of butter.
A 40-g portion (a medium thickness spread on four slices of bread) is a rich source of vitamins A and D; contains 32 g of fat (the percentage of saturated fat depends on the oils used in manufacture); supplies 290 kcal (1220 kJ). A single caterer's pat is 10 g; contains 8 g of fat; supplies 72 kcal (300 kJ).
Low-fat spreads are made with 20-60% fat and correspondingly higher contents of air and water and less energy. A 40-g portion of low-fat spread contains 16 g of fat (of which typically 27% is saturated); supplies 145 kcal (610 kJ). A single caterer's pat is 10 g; contains 4 g of fat; supplies 35 kcal (150 kJ).
And here's the most disturbing fact.... HERE IS THE PART THAT IS VERY INTERESTING!
Margarine is but ONE MOLECULE away from being PLASTIC..
This fact alone was enough to have me avoiding margarine for life and anything else that is hydrogenated (this means hydrogen is added, changing the molecular structure of the substance).
You can try this yourself:
Purchase a tub of margarine and leave it in your garage or shaded area. Within a couple of days you will note a couple of things:
* no flies, not even those pesky fruit flies will go near it (that should tell you something)
* it does not rot or smell differently because it has no nutritional value; nothing will grow on it. Even those teeny weeny microorganisms will not a find a home to grow. Why? Because it is nearly plastic. Would U melt your Tupperware and spread that on your toast?
Share This With Your Friends... (If you want to 'butter them up')!
Chinese Proverb: 'When someone shares something of value with you and you benefit from it, you have a moral obligation to share it with others.
just in case if u are thinking that i am recommending that we substitute tonic water for panadol ..well ..i am not..
like all things "caveat emptor" ..
why it might have worked , even though the dosage was low : perhaps because it was my very first time taking quinine ..that it might have done the trick ..
of course ..the safest is ..always take a pandol .. caveat emptor .. : )
(always : at the back of my mind is that the 'audience' in here are very well informed people : ) )
