Melamine Dinnerware

With the crisis of melamine together, I am now concerned with my melamine dinnerware. I have plates, cups, utensils, and trays of melamine, which are convenient, but I wonder if I would be interested in using them. Someone knows? I have children and I do not want to give them everything that I should not!

<> I am fairly certain that melamine in the form of cooking is perfectly safe. Melamine in pet food has been crushed and processed in a certain way.

Melamine is safe, except use microwave

From what I read and what I learned, melamine is a relatively safe to work and use. It must be consumed in really large amounts to cause problems in laboratory animals, and to be a form of small particles before it works even in this case. In fact, researchers have not conclusively link the melamine contamination problems they see in animals, and they think it may be a combination of melamine with other chemicals and bacteria also found in grains. Melamine is not supposed to be there, but not more than the others. If I understand this is part of things too many problems as not having been to be able to isolate a particular culprit. As far as your meals are concerned, they are safe because I doubt that you plan to grind them to eat. The reason why the standard of the FDA it has more to do with the disposal is also an additive adulterant. A bit like not allowing them to sawdust in the bread. The sawdust itself is not bad, but that does not mean that we want to buy bread and loads of sawdust. People have been eating melamine dinnerware for absolutely decades without any ill effect. If there were, they would have shown up now because it is a very common material used for the dishes around the world. Your grandparents, parents and most of us grew up eating off of it, and none of us have suffered adverse effects. Your children must be equally secure. Just be happy that the FDA standards, and we do not live in China. You do not even know what they stick in some food products, or do not put them to sell their own people. No doubt some of the grain that ended up in pet food fed many of the Chinese people.
