Gabby have you tried the candy from the naturalcandystore? Problem

with some " healthy " candy is that it tastes like...I can't think of a

word so let's just leave it at disgusting. I'll never forget the one

year for Christmas someone gave me these chocolates that were all

natural -biting into candy you expect something sweet right? At

least I thought they would be sweet -it was almost like it was

supposed to be a gag gift -literally.

Now Yummy Earth makes these lollipops that I bought at Whole Foods

and my boys and tons of their friends LOVE them. They are the

bestest lollipops in the word.

Problem is that in today's standards you can't just give out " one "

lollipop at Halloween and not look like a cheapie -and these

lollipops aren't cheap to give out handfuls. But they are great!

Oh just found that horrible chocolate someone gave me -

" Dolphin Natural Chocolates creates malt-sweetened, non-dairy chocolate "

http://www.dolphinnatural.com/webpage.cfm?webpage_name=Our%20Products

To me it's not " milk chocolate " without the milk -and sugar free too?!

Why would anyone get 'me' sweet tooth - " sugar free " is beyond

me! Sugar free chocolate -I'd rather eat broccoli -for real. (and no

I can't mail them to anyone I threw them away. Glenn said " are you

kidding?! " when I asked him if he wanted to try them after I bit into

one and he saw my face and watched me spit it out)

There are some other organic chocolates I've had that are awesome -

but for lollipops -http://www.yummyearth.com/

Well not for lollys because of Yummy Earth -but yes lots of other

things. On this topic -what do you and everyone think of these

videos?! Even though they talk about Halloween candy it's not just

candy -we have to look at everything that contains milk powder right

now.

Potentially MELAMINE Tainted Treats, A SERIOUS Warning My Mike Mozart

Why is melamine in baby formula, your food -- and your pets' meals?

....So what is it?

Melamine is a nitrogen-based compound used in commercial and

industrial plastics, such as eating utensils and laminates,

whiteboard wall paneling, flooring and Formica countertops. According

to U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) officials, who

investigated melamine contamination in pet food last year, it is also

used as a fertilizer in Asia. An estimated 8,500 dogs and cats died

of kidney failure after chowing down on melamine laced fare; when

large amounts of the chemical are ingested, it causes the formation

of kidney stones, as well as the organs' failure.

Chinese food companies use the nitrogen-based compound in wheat flour

and other products to make these products appear to have more

protein. Normally, proteins are the only source of nitrogen in food,

so by looking for that element in tests, one can figure out relative

protein concentrations. " Whenever someone looks at nitrogen in food,

almost always they are looking at the amount of protein in food, "

Lora Sporny, a professor of nutrition education at Columbia

University in New York, told ScientificAmerican.com last year.

During a press conference held during last year's pet food scandal,

FDA official Sundlof said it was possible that the tainted

grub was deliberately spiked with melamine to make it appear to have

higher protein levels. " The motivation would be economic in that you

can take a product that is low in protein, " he said, " and add a

substance that from a chemistry standpoint makes the product appear

to have a higher protein content than it does so it can be marketed

at the price. "

What does melamine do in the body? A Cornell veterinarian told us

last year that melamine is not considered to be " a very toxic

compound, " but can result in kidney stones and kidney failure

especially in small animals. Investigators found crystals made up of

melamine and its byproducts in the urine and kidneys of in the dogs

and cats that were poisoned last year. Because it formed crystals in

the body and was not fully dissolved in urine, the melamine gathered

in the kidney, gunking up the organ and forming stones. The pets that

died suffered acute kidney failure.

Now the same thing appears to be happening to China's tiny tots.

Chinese officials claim they have a handle on the problem; there have

been at least 18 arrests in the probe and the head of China's quality

watchdog group resigned. Nevertheless, parents in China and places

where the product is sold are reported to be nervous. The FDA says

it's unlikely that any of the tainted products made it to the U.S.

but agents were scouting shops in Asian neighborhoods in Los Angeles,

New York, San Francisco and Seattle to make sure that none had

slipped through to those community shops.
