What this article is saying is the pet food industry could be misleading the public in the same way the baby formula industry is doing it too.

Beware too of ingredients coming in from China.

Remember, just because someone provides you with a link does not mean it's true...for example, here's a link for http://www.martinlutherking.org/. Sounds like a reputable site to find info. about Martin Luther King, right? Notice, however, at the bottom that it's hosted by "Stormfront". Here's their link: http://www.stormfront.org/forum/.

Many 'toxins' found in formula are also found in breast milk:

Very _useful_:

Also, melamine and percolate, and other substances that are 'toxic' are found in water, not to mention the tons of chemicals we breathe in through the air. And yes, these things are found in breast milk as well. Surprise, surprise.

"Using infrared lasers and light spectroscopy methods, Lisa Mauer, an associate professor of food science, was able to detect melamine in baby formula at one part per million in about five minutes or less. Melamine, a synthetic chemical used in plastics and other products, has been found in baby formula and other milk-based products imported from China. High doses of melamine were associated with cancer in some animals, and it is especially dangerous for infants, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. "

"Testing by the FDA and Cornell University has found melamine in samples of recalled pet food as well as in crystal form in the urine and kidney tissue of dead cats. They’ve also found the chemical, in apparently raw form in concentrations as high as 6.6 percent, in wheat gluten used as ingredient of the recalled cat and dog foods, said Stephen Sundlof, the FDA’s chief veterinarian.



“There was a sizable amount of melamine. You could see crystals in the wheat gluten,” Sundlof told The Associated Press."
