China says new tests show milk free from melamine

(5.10.2008)http://www.thestar.com.my/news/story.asp?file=/2008/10/5/apworld/20081005190511&sec=apworld
Lately, milk powder containing melamine has been blamed for killing four babies and sickening more than 54,000 infants with kidney stones and other illnesses in China. It is believed that suppliers trying to boost output diluted their milk, adding melamine because its nitrogen content can fool tests measuring protein content. Is it a natural characteristic of human being to hurt others in order to gain self benefits? It sounds horrible but it really happens..On Saturday, the safety regulator said tests of milk in liquid form had found no melamine. It was the second time in less than a week that the authority said tests of liquid milk products showed no contamination. However, i believe that there will be many people who still do not dare to consume milk from China because it is difficult to gain back consumers' trust that have lost.
