Could Chemical in Dishware Raise Your Risk for Kidney Stones? Kaohsiung Medical University Study
1/22/2013 7:11:34 AM
A chemical called melamine that's found in some dishware might raise your risk for kidney stones, a small new study suggests. "Melamine is a chemical used widely in industry and found in many household products," noted one expert not connected to the study, Dr. Kenneth Spaeth. "For consumers, one of the most common sources of exposure to melamine is from kitchenware including plates, bowls, mugs, etcetera, as melamine has long been known to migrate from these into food," said Spaeth, who is director of the Occupational and Environmental Medicine Center at North Shore University Hospital in Manhasset, NY.
