Two years ago Chinese dairy products were recalled worldwide after it was revealed that melamine, used to make plastics, was widely and illegally added to the products to give the appearance of higher protein.
At least six infants died and 300,000 others fell sick as a result of the melamine additions, it was claimed.
Today a new scandal is all over the news, as shocking as it sounds, female babies in China have grown breasts after they were given milk laced with hormones leading to a premature development., the official China Daily newspaper reported today that medical tests indicated that the level of hormones in three 'test case' girls, ranging in age from four months to 15 months, exceeded those found in the average adult woman. All the babies who showed symptoms of the phenomenon were fed the same baby formula.
Local food safety authorities have refused one mother's request to investigate the formula, made by the Synutra company, claiming they do not conduct tests when requested by consumers, while Mr Yang Qin, chief physician in the child care department at the Hubei Maternity and Children' Hospital urged parents to stop using the formula and insisted that the milk powder be subjected to chemical analysis.
The formula is still on sale on the shelves in Beijing on discounted prices. manufacturers assured no man-made hormones or any illegal substances were added during the production of the milk powder.
Another a dairy association said the hormones could have entered the food chain when farmers reared the cattle.
So far nothing is confirmed but the mutation of the little babies is happening under the eyes of their parents, the media and the entire world with no declared responsible of this terrifying situation.
