True. 👍

Especially the ones that happen in countries that aren't her home country. She empathizes with everyone involved and provides *context* for these cases. She shows us the idiosyncrasies and reasonings behind these events, frauds, & crimes.

not all heroes wear capes, my friend

around here they have limits so locals don't have to fight with all of china for baby formula. china needs to shape up rather than take from another country.

There is another comment from a Polish citizen who works at a drug store who saw this, and I have seen it in the US and heard of it in Australia, to the point that locals with babies. were having trouble finding formula. The rep,use are full of other people who saw it too.

​@@fizzy_buzzmy first thought was maybe he was reselling it it China and making a hefty profit due to the high demand.

​@@lisahurlbut6412He very likely was. That was a huge problem shortly after the scandal. Rich people would come to Germany in particular but other countries as well and buy up all the formula to resell in China for a huge markup. It was a thing and very problematic for people feeding their own babies. I cannot remember how that was resolved... I think it just got better over time, although Chinese tourists remained somewhat notorious for buying up formula for a while. I remember watching a report with pity...

All Dr's are heroes. Period. And honestly I feel like the best heroes are the ones that do the right thing when there's nobody else to do so. ALL HEROES ARE DOING THE RIGHT THING. THATS WHAT MAKES THEM A HERO.❤

@@tiffanyparke3707unfortunately Not all doctors are heroes. I know this first hand and have severe PTSD from what they’ve said and done to me. I and several people I know have been failed by the medical community. Very few become doctors because they actually want to help people. Most of them are in it for the money. Doctors are who I have the least amount of trust in.

wow that's sad about the reasons they might cut the formula with water. Wish formula was more accessable. So do some parents give their kids water bcause they think it'll hydrate them more during the hot days?

@@lordtette Agreed and yes they think because it's hot their baby isn't getting enough hydration not realizing they are hurting their child. That day I had asked the doctor she said she already had 3 deaths from that that year. This was 11 years ago. I can't imagine how much worse it is now. :(

My eldest was born in July. My mil would tell me to give her a baby bottle of water because of the heat. I'm glad my now 5yo never really liked bottle feeding!

I gave my kids water all the time I'd say it's a problem with the water itself. Maybe too much chlorine or fluoride.

Melamine might be on some paper plates.

You probably would have been relatively fine because the amount on the bowls is a lot less than what you would be eating from the tainted baby formula especially when you compare the size of a fully grown person or a child compared to a young baby. the kidney stones would probably suck. The FDAs tolerable intake is .063milligrams per kilogram of weight. so don’t eat your plates and bowls and you’ll be fine.

@@laurennelson3918 I mean, I do have kidney issues consistent with melamine issues, and I eat microwaved food out of them 3-5 times a day, so there's no harm in throwing them out and seeing if things improve

let us kno@@TheJeleb

that tolerable intake is extremely low. Why take the chance? Besides it's based off killing rats in a lab... so.... death....@@laurennelson3918

Always read the bottom of bowls 🫣

holy cow is apt for this story indeed

A lot of plastic containers for food are safe. Youll know its made of melamine when the plate heats up. The plate will melt before your food gets hot.

I tell all my coworkers never to heat in plastic containers especially the one that comes with the food.

"The Silent Killer of South Korea That Murdered 1500 Young People" I guess my first reply got deleted. It's Stephanie's video from about 5 months back

It makes me so sad knowing how many children died because companies were greedy

It was a worldwide issue. It was the same in the UK. Shortages and then restrictions on how many you could buy because of people buying it here to send to China

Yup. Not just formula, but rolled oats and honey too. And that’s just what I saw. One day it was a (I’m assuming) Chinese throuple loading a trolley full of little Capilano honey squeeze bottles, they took all but four I think. I thought “oh, maybe they run a restaurant and their honey supplier couldn’t deliver” but oh my god that was way too much honey for even that. 100% selling it back to Chinese citizens for a profit. I don’t blame the Chinese for not trusting food from their country, because even in the west we have issues. But to predate upon people’s fears for money is just low.

I should mention I worked in that supermarket, so I know it wasn’t a regular customer thing.

​@@dustenekoes28I'm from Argentina and we are one of the largest honey producers worldwide (like 2nd or 3rd in the world). Until today Japan became one of our largest markest because the largest producer is China, and ours is considered safe honey

First time I've ever seen a grown man in the fetal position, on the floor...crying loudly in pain with full on tears...with no care about who was seeing him this way...was him passing a kidney stone. And this guy was a tough, scrappy, & never been pampered or catered to a day in his life. Childbirth is a process our body was built to go through. A kidney stone is not naturally supposed to be passed. Yes, there's a route it takes, but it's existence in the first place is a malfunction, & your body is just doing the best it can to regain its functions. If there's babies out there, passing kidney stones, that's a horrible pain filled existence for those babies who won't KNOW anything but the pain. These companies are sadistic murderers.

Worse than childbirth

lol when I was 16 I woke up with this pain on the side of my back, and I begged my mum to let me stay home beside it was so painful, she made me go anyways, but during roll call my teacher sent me to the office to sit in the sick bay but at this point it was 10x worse and i couldn’t lay still (they left me there for 20 mins) but across the sick bay door was the deputy principals office and she was watching me and she noticed something was wrong so she told the office workers to call my mum to come take me to the gp… anyways mum rocks up 10 mins later and she sees me and was like “oh” and drives me to the gp. The dr sees me and goes “yeah nah take her to the hospital“ And just gives me a needle for pain relief and anti nausea… got to the hospital and did an ultrasound and couldn’t find anything… few days later I was in the shower and see a Little Rock thing come out of me… IT WAS A FKN KIDNEY STONE AND IT WAS SPIKEY, so far worst pain in my life.

Just by hearing hear describe kidney stones, i was feelibg uncomfortable. Fell so bad for kidney stones patients 😢😢😢

She really is an incredible story teller. After I watched one of her videos I immediately subscribed to her channel. I’ll sit for hours watching her videos on my phone. 😁.

As soon as she was done explaining kidney stones, I texted my nurse sister saying "new fear unlocked" 😭 I knew they were bad, but I didn't realize HOW bad they actually were!

the outcome kinda looks like hydrocephalus

And let’s not forget the water in Flint, Michigan is still not clean by the way!

​@@lovercllI thougth that was fixed a few yrars back. 🤔

As someone in Michigan, the water still isn’t clean.

There was a man that helped build a good water purifier in that area, but it was sabatoged and out of commission for a while. He was able to fix it, but I sure would like to know who messed with it!! That's just freaking evil and deserves the harshest of punishments.

@@Laroac It wasn’t fixed unfortunately. The news just stopped reporting on it and people stopped talking about it.

I’ve never added gasoline to my cooking and nobody had to tell me not too. ….although some experiments might have tasted like I did lol.

And to think 85 idiots liked your comment 🥴 they knew what they were putting in that formula, kinda like when the government decided on the Tuskegee experiment 🤷🏼‍♀️ Google it...

I know a small part of the issue was/is people using it to cut drugs. Then there's the carcinogen thing with.... Johnson and Johnson I think? Or Enfamil?

​​@@CaitlynHallart That was baby laxative, not formula and it was and still is used to cut cocaine. Edited to add ~ Yes, Johnson & Johnson. They were fined the largest payout in history to that dying woman who was poisoned by them and sued them. I believe it was many hundreds of millions or a billion they were told to pay out, but the last I heard of it, a couple years ago was that the judge was siding with the brand & that the jurors had awarded an unfair amount to her. What the hell is the point in giving a jury the full power to decide on a punishment if the judge can be paid off by the company and happily reduce the judgement amount? The system is horribly broken.

The baby formula shortage was/is worldwide and still going on in many places and is mostly caused by a massive number of Chinese people going to other countries and buying up all the formula so that they can ship it off to China for a huge profit, because no-one in China trusts Chinese made formula anymore due to scandals like this and the big head baby scandal, so they only use foreign stuff. And with the massive number of babies that need feeding in China that's a lot of formula they're importing. A lot of countries still have nationwide limitations on the amount of formula you're allowed to buy in shops because it still keeps happening, but they get around this by travelling to several different shops at a time. Unfortunately a lot of people in China get scammed or have to pay tons of money for something they so desperately need while kids in other countries go hungry from the shortages, so it's a lose lose situation for everyone except the people shipping and selling the formula. The screw ups of these few companies in just one country have had such a massive impact around the world and hurts everyone except the people taking advantage of the situation for profit.

Formula isn't just milk, like cows' milk. It's formulated with additives to be as nutritious as breastmilk. If this is true it's quite possible that it's stunted your growth in some ways. Depending on how long you were only given cow's milk.😮

You are exactly right, still to this day Chinese milk powder is avoided like the plague from the melamine baby formula scandal, it's not just for profits. The chinese have lost all trust in their locally sourced milk powder

What’s the humidifier case?

Biggest to blame here is the gov and the lack of regulations. That's why this stuff happens. The US itself is among the least regulated in the western world.

I was thinking about this case too!!!

@@malibooothere’s a video called “The Silent Killer of South Korea That Murdered 1500 Young People”. I lowkey thought Stephanie talked about the same case again but thanks for clarifying the other video was about humidifiers. This one’s about baby formulas.

@@_SWAMPMONSTER_ omg thats evil and cruel.

they sell it at shops the stuff they use is usually the stuff that was for making things

The fear against formula may also come from Nestlé and their own scandal of agressively marketing it to poor countries where potable water is scarce, telling the people that it's better than breast milk, and then ending up killing a bunch of those babies because not only was the milk, in fact, not better than breast milk, but the instructions on how to prepare the formula were never translated into the language of said countries, so parents would unknowingly give their babies formula prepares and heavily diluted with dirty unboiled water. This happened in the 70s if I'm not mistaken, but Nestlé still does a lot of bad shit in the present

I've had uro-sepsis as well. It is the worst pain that exists. I remember the ER clerk telling me I couldn't possibly be a ten in the pain scale because I was talking. Sir. My blood was poisoned.

@JuicyUTTP She means that babies/kids have smaller organs than adults so it’s more difficult to use the medical tools on babies. It’s harder to navigate bc their body parts are smaller and less developed

Dehydration from a lack of clean water can make breastfeeding nearly impossible.

​@@YochevedDesignsright, but if you don't have clean water how are you going to make clean formula?? That's what was so evil about Nestlé preying on mothers in those areas by telling them formula was better and safer for their babies. "Nestlé's entry into LMIC formula markets caused about 212,000 infant deaths per year among mothers without clean water access."

Some women can't produce milk because of stress even if the above conditions are met, or very young women who are 1st time mothers.

Surely when they dehydrated the milk there would have been Les volume of formula. Also where did the farmers get the said product, didn’t it raise concerns ordering so much.

Still...seems like EVERYONE agrees to a shockingly-uniform degree that kidney stones were the worst thing they ever had to put up with. Glad I still have no idea for now! )) My dad doesn't share medical stuff with me much either if it doesn't involve staying in the hospital for more than a weekend, but he went out of his way to warn me to get PLENTY of water if I still loved spinach as much as I used to...and indeed I do still love it! I found out that apparently he'd had 'oxalate crystals' as the foundation for his stone, and it had been so awful that he was warning me even WAY before I was old enough to need to worry about it simply because it was so awful. Everyone's different, so I'm sure someone out there will be like "I had a huge stone and it never bothered me!" but my dad is retired military and a 'strapping lad' now growing older; he's not at all a pushover, and yet he went out of his way to mention this. It must have been quite impressively painful, and I'm glad to preemptively-learn from his mistake. :) Glad you're doing better now, and I hope you are able to avoid them ever again like he's trying to avoid them!

@@EShirakomy cousin also got kidney stones and he ended up in the hospital for it. They took out the large ones and some smaller ones were still there.

@@EShirakoI’m pretty sure vasectomies are relatively painless? I believe they don’t even need to skip work after the procedure or require real pain meds like opiates…

My dad has recurring kidney stones. First time he got them he thought he was dying, an organ exploding, failing, whatnot. When he found out it was two large kidney stones he said it was the worst pain he ever felt. When further explained it is in fact for some the equivalent of child birth he said he had a whole new level of respect for women and understood why my mother screamed for the drugs when I popped out 😅 He takes Bigelow lemon green tea and takes extra calcium since he gets none due to lactose intolerance. He's also in his 80s which is very stressful. But they're tiny pebbles when they pass, not too bad. He's used to it now. Hope that info helps some. Find out what kind of kidney stones they are and come up with a plan. Will save stress on your body.

I remember this. I had a baby at the time and being so relieved I was able to breastfeed as there were shortages and buying limits on baby formula in the UK due to people buying it to send abroad. People were often having to visit multiple shops to find formula at the time.

@@helenwoods1467 China's economy is so bad that sadly it's become very common for people to only worry about themselves and how they can make money and not how they can effect others. I watched a video about fake food and health products being sold in China. There's a herb called Moxa which is used in a traditional Chinese medicine practice called Moxibustion which involves burning moxa. In the video I watched a man who sold Moxa explained that he would grind up cardboard into a flaky powder that looks similar to moxa and add just enough moxa so that it had the fragrance of moxa. Obviously much cheaper to make and sells for the same price. Another place I saw used ground up cardboard mixed with meat and sauce as fillings for dumplings. In the video there was an interview with an old lady who said something along the lines of "Chinese don't even care about Chinese anymore, they don't care about their own people all they want is to make money" and that's so sad. When people are struggling so much that they will do anything to make money even if it means feeding people cardboard or feeding babies melamine, they just look the other way. Of course not all Chinese are like this, but it is becoming more and more common in China that practices like this are happening to increase profits because the economy is struggling so much. I worry about people in Australia having access to enough formula to feed their babies, when people were taking too much formula to send to China and leave people here with a shortage, but also you know that the people selling that formula to Chinese are scalping and probably selling it at extreme prices that go far beyond the cost of getting it to China and a small profit for them, the people selling Australian formula to Chinese people are making huge amounts of money on the desperation of these parents who just want to make sure the food their babies need to survive is safe. Every baby deserves safe, nutritious food. That'd why I always say "if you see someone stealing baby formula, no you didn't.". Because every baby deserves food and most of the time the people stealing formula are just trying to feed their baby, but there definitely was and sometimes still is an issue with people stealing formula to send to China and whilst I don't have an issue with the people who need to feed their babies I have an issue with the people trying to make a huge profit on the people who need to feed their babies, taking advantage of the desperation of parents wanting their child to be fed and healthy.

​@@aihoshinoirlsame nutritional value as a milkshake from McDonald's. People expect it to actually be a meal replacement but it's not for everyday use that's why it's called meal replacement and not multiple meal replacement. One time use. Shouldn't even be sold in more than a pack of two 🤷🏾‍♀️

I had one baby formula and one breastfeed only and the difference was crazy on their bodies

@@kendrakolker2065 What was the difference, if you don’t mind me asking?

​@@KayLuckyKay I'm not a baby specialist nor mom, but I have study and some experience with taking care of nurturing moms so, while baby formula mixtures have a higher nutritional value than many other kinds of food on top of (normally) being safe to consume, a baby that is fed only on baby formula will still be malnourished, will have a hard time digesting, on top of having excess on certain nutrients and end up accumulating fat, not even saying that they will have a bad time with diseases since their systems will be kinda frail, since human milk don't only have nutrients, but antibodies, also they'll have a halted development, meaning the baby will have learning problems in the beginning of their infancy, all because they had a very bad time assimilating the nutrients in the formula at the beginning of their whole life. I also heard it is less likely for babies to accept solids when exclusively fed on formula, because formula (being puree) is kind of lame and boring to a baby, they get used and will have a hard time tasting anything else. But also, there is a solution to every problem: If a mom can't breastfeed due to clinical problems, there is someone in some community that over-produces milk who is very eager to donate all that extra milk to any needing baby. Yes, I know all that because I lived with some moms with little newborns in their arms. One of them had breast implants, so I needed to go fetch milk from a very kind other lady that also had a baby and was producing enough milk to feed 3 whole babies.

@@VOlDNOVA jeez i wish i could produce enough to feed 3 babies.. my supply has nearly dried up. i finally found a source for domperidone and am waiting for it to come to increase my supply. i'm still trying to give her breast milk whenever i can in the mean time but i'm barely making any... gotta pump several times for one meal. stupid ob doctors here would not give me the meds to increase it.

​@@barbrothers2Get plenty of rest and drink lots of fluids; breastfeed exclusively for the first 6 months, after that, always breastfeed *BEFORE* giving solids; breastfeed from both sides, beginning with one side first and alternating it next time; breastfeed more frequently. Best of luck!

Was that why my family stopped getting those candies??? Oh no wonder

@@HPFireYT probably, it was in the news for a long time.

Where I live in the Caribbean my family used to buy these all the time then we couldn’t find them anymore for years. Now I know why.

@@journalingwithjessica Good to know your government is looking out for it's people.

Not only were they recalled because of Melamine contamination in 2008. They were also banned as found to have Formaldehyde contamination in 2007.

Kidney stones sound like torture.😢 Your mom is a real fighter.

@@Ujika She really was, thank you so much. She passed from cancer in 2016 and is now in peace. I am so grateful to have had such an amazing mother.

yep

Hwooooooooohw yeah.

Yup this is why when people are for “less corporate” regulations, I think they’re stupid to believe the wealthy companies will do the “right thing “ and not cut corners to make profits.

It's so scary how true that is

It isn’t only happen in China; just more likely. I used to live there, and the corruption and connection between gov and companies are interchangeable. It also more likely to happen in some South East Asian country too. No one bet an eye when police demand money for every single thing.

Have u figured out what caused it?

@@bayjustin3885 they didn't really determine the cause but she had to change her diet and stay off certain food like peanuts and spinach

@@xobakasu spinach and peanuts ?? That’s all I eat …

She already made a video about this case a few months ago

Interesting

Stephanie actually already covered this case!

@@confusedaf1112where

​​@@oppositeswitzerland1058 Called Forced to eat live eels & live mice. I'd see the video but thought it was American frat

Dont buy anything edible from china

Toothpastes made in china were a problem a while ago (years ago) because they were found to have lead in them.

But Nestle products in EU had may be have it. Whatch " the Nestle withstleblower".

Mom's should explain why kids shouldn't eat or drink certain things. Goes a lot further than "because I said so." Your momma still kept you safe without exposing you to the evils going on in the world by making sure nothing from China entered your home. You could've had a mom like mine that liked to give me adult narcotics like oxycodone to make me sleep when she didn't feel like being a mom that day and my nanna & papaw were too busy to take me that day.

Something else about all of that.... Passing a kidney stone, at least the first one, is almost worse than most of those bc of the FEAR. You have no idea what is going on. Yes you have likely had back pain... 7yrs b4 I passed the first lg stone a boss has told me I needed to CK my kidneys. That I likely had at least a kidney infection. I didn't listen telling her do you know my back was hurt when I was hit by a car. She told me that she see me pressed my fingers deep into my back where my kidneys are. She was right bc 7yrs later I truly thought I was dying. I had no idea where the pain was coming from, but I KNEW something was bad wrong and something needed OUT of my body. But I had NO IDEA what was wrong and I was scared. Besides my appendix, which was about the same as the stone, I KNEW what was happening or it happened too fast for fear.... With the stones tho ... The first time, it was so scary

@@user-tp1hu8jj4e I think lemon and olive oil help to pass a kidney stone. I think that's why Mediterranean people use this combo for salads... to prevent stones!!! Ancient wisdom... ☺

Goodness, you're so strong! I can only imagine the pain those poor babies were going through :(

​@@user-tp1hu8jj4e yeah that kidney stones pain at first is like a dull ache so you kinda don't realise then it moves to like a pulled muscle pain (best I can explain) for me it was the pee problems that was confusing. But that passing pain hoowee it's like a pure clean horrific pain.

Yep I lived in a milk farming town in Australia when this happened....the cows weren't enough so they shipped powder in from new zealand, canned it in Australia and sold it back to China. Bonkers time

Yes, true, I've given birth and it wasn't easy, complicated by prematurity. I've had kidney stones and it nearly drove me crazy, as it couldn't be found for three years, scans and x-rays found nothing. In and out of emergency, it was eventually found hidden, but it'd ruined one kidney by then. Worst pain I've ever felt in my life. Those poor babies.

@@margaretr5701 wow, I’m so sorry. That sounds absolutely horrible

My mother has had 7 kidney stones since she was 10, can coniform it’s painful as heck, she used to cry every night when I was young, she’s better now tho

Idk, my birth was 16hrs, and the contractions were horrible which made me angry.. who knows.. maybe stones are more painful

Oh my god, this is horrific... is there a news article or something you can share?

I looked it up, and found articles claiming disinformation and defamation. It could be helpful for Stephanie to look into it, as she might be able to distinguish between truth and lies.

I get kidney stones too and the thought of a tiny baby dealing with that level of pain makes me sick. How awful.

Same. I gave birth naturally and didn't scream or cry, but kidney stones were so unbearable that I went out to the shed with a pillow, buried my face in it and screamed until I almost passed out (it was 3 am and I was trying not to wake my family up sounding like I was being murdered.) So it's not an exaggeration when women say they would rather give birth, it's really that bad, and it makes sense- childbirth is something our bodies are designed to do. I can't imagine if my baby was experiencing that pain. She actually had severe constipation from formula and the screams were heartbreaking.

My kidney stones made me pass out, I can’t imagine a small baby dealing with that pain 😢
