I'm pragmatic likwe you, marie.  But I had a couple of Docs/scientists 
discussing this and their view was two fold.  Number 1 , there should be 'no' 
melamine in food products, there isn't a reaonable excuse.  Number 2, they 
also test an infintesimal amount of the baby formula and othet products.  
There is really no way to know for sure thatn the levels are not much higher 
than discussed.......................
