You know, I saw this story the other day, and my first thought was that most folks buy food from other countries...everything comes from China...China boosts protein with melamine...melamine causes kidney stones...

A Rise in Kidney Stones Is Seen in U.S. Children
Brendan Smialowski for The New York Times
YOUNG VICTIM Tessa Cesario, 11, developed a kidney stone in February. She has since cut back on salt and is drinking more water.

To the great surprise of parents, kidney stones, once considered a disorder of middle age, are now showing up in children as young as 5 or 6.

While there are no reliable data on the number of cases, pediatric urologists and nephrologists across the country say they are seeing a steep rise in young patients. Some hospitals have opened pediatric kidney stone clinics.
