I also wanted to add it is recommended babies do NOT have water until 6 months not only because it is zero nutrition for them but because their kidneys are still developing. Giving an infant water (they get enough through formula/breast feeding) can cause a condition called "Hyponaturemia" which can cause brain swelling and even death. Baby kidneys can't handle as much water as adults can. I didn't know this myself until years ago when I asked my kids doctor why giving them water is bad. She said she sees so many cases especially here in Las Vegas during the summer months of kids dying because their parents either diluted their formula incorrectly and used too much water to stretch out their expensive formula or just from giving them straight water. Anyone with questions please google this. It can save a life.

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 fact that Nestle is even allowed to still be in existence speaks volumes about this situation we're currently in.

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 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.

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 remember when this happened. I live in Australia, and there were literally hundreds of thousands of Chinese people buying up massive quantities of baby formula. I had 2 young babies at the time, and it was nearly impossible to get my babies the formula that they were used to. I basically had to just get whatever was left over on the nearly bare shelves. It was just too dangerous to try to get in early , as there were actually fights, physical fights , that broke out between customers bulk buying. Then , the stores thought that if they put a limit on how many tins of formula you cld buy per person, it wld work. But sadly no. The Chinese ' workers' , ( who were sent to get as much formula as possible), started going through the shops many times a day, at different locations. When that was almost stopped, they then began bribing random members of the public to go purchase the formula!! And this was happening all the way down in little ole Tasmania, the literal ass-end of the world, next stop , Antarctica!!! It really affected me deeply, seeing how desperate these poor people were , and how far they had travelled, just to get what their country SHOULD HAVE given them in the first place, quality products. It really hit home, as I couldn't imagine not being able to get my babies what they needed, ( I was, back then, and still am , very poor, so there were more times than I'd like to admit having to resort to stealing formula, due to its outrageous cost), but it was always, to the best of my knowledge, quality product at least.

I‘m from Germany. One or two years ago, I saw a Chinese guy at my local drugstore buying all of the baby formula. Every single can. The isle was empty afterwards. When he opened the back door of his van to put his purchase inside, I saw that there were more cans stacked inside. The van was filled to the brim with baby formula when he was done. My first thought was “What a sick fck, leave some for the other parents“ but then it struck me.

If you can’t pee, your body is unable to remove toxins from the body. Your kidneys main function is to remove the toxins. They will swell (hydrophrenosis) This on its own hurts and requires emergency intervention! I have had this due to kidney stones. The whole process is incredibly painful, high risk of uro-sepsis which kills!! (I survived this 4 times!!) Once you have had kidney stones, you are likely to have them again within 5 years so it becomes rinse and repeat!! Anyone who, knowingly, allows this to happen to babies should go through this!!

I remember this so well - and I'm in Australia. People stripped the shelves of Australian brands in Australian supermarkets to ship over to families in China; the supply situation was dire for a very long time. Other countries had their supply impacted significantly enough that purchase limits are still in place. We also had a recall of White Rabbit candies, and they didnt come back into the country for years. I was at uni when it all kicked off, and I remember Mum called me when she saw it on the evening news, because she knew that I loved (and still do) those candies and she was worried about my health as an adult.

I used to see many Chinese people on TikTok with large-headed babies, placed on ventilators and tubes, asking for donations. I genuinely thought it was edited, but watching this video and discovering the harsh reality that babies were being poisoned and killed breaks my heart. These individuals begged on TikTok, seeking help as a final resort, and people laughing and saying it is edited in the comments. I was one of those people who scrolled and laughed, saying the large headed babies are fake, thinking it was a scam for money. I feel for those families and individuals who were affected, and to those heartless individuals attempting to cover it up for money are terrible. Thank you Stephanie for consistently covering real life issues that impact real life people. Edit: those hating under my comment need to understand this is still affecting people around the world since back in 2008 to 2023 and i'm not apologizing for the situation i'm apologizing for my ignorance toward this situation back when it was and is still happening.

Sadly… breast milk is also usually the safest option as water sources in certain places in the world may not be suitable for children (or adults). So even if formula isn’t contaminated, poisoned, or lacking essential nutrients the water itself could be unsafe… so it’s even more horrific that formula can’t be trusted as not all ppl can breast feed (physically or bc they are working to support their family) and/or could lack access to a diet that would support breast feeding.

Crazy how this case impacts even my village in rural France. Normandie is well-known for its cows and dairy food productions, especially Isigny Sainte-Mère which has an excellent reputation due its old existence and quality + it's quite a big company. When the case of Sanlu products happened the group H&H (the 4th company in infant formula in China) started imported milk from Isigny so they gave them money to get all stuff necesary to do so. Now it represents 30% of annual sales (and it is like 150 millions €). I just find that crazy how connections are made and how far this case went and changed things across the globe. But the starting point of this case is just horrible, some people killed babies over money, they knew the consequences of their act and to me this the most terrifying point : they did it on purpose just to have more money. And btw I read an article talking about this case and it said "AT LEAST 6 babies died" so yeah nobody believes China on that number...

But the reports said the condition had been detected in seven counties and caused at least 50 deaths. Many parents, most of them impoverished farmers, were unaware that the problem was related to malnutrition. In some cases the babies died after just a few days of being fed on products with little more nutritional value than water.

My grandfather took us to the hospital and at one point at a red light my dad stepped out of the car and threw up from the pain. It turned out he had MULTIPLE kidney stones at once.

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.

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.

I used to work at a supermarket in the UK and I remember this happening. We had so many Chinese people most looked like university students coming into the store buying loads of baby formula to send back to their families in China. As Stephanie said we had to start limiting it to 2 per customer because we would regularly run out. This wasn’t just the store that I worked in this was a national thing, which is still in place even now

I had blockage from a kidney stone once and yes the pain was so off the charts that I just squatted in the hospital waiting hall and starting silently sobbing with no regard for the people around me. There was no more embarrassment, no more anything, just pain. The doctor, after the ordeal was over, was even surprised that I "took it well", he asked if it was that kind of pain that makes you climb up walls and yeah I said it was like that. So even thinking about that kind of pain in a baby....damn, just damn, if pain alone could kill, this is the one to do it.

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.

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.

Kidney stone pain comes from them scraping through your ureters and then your urethra. I've had 5 stones and 5 major infections, starting when I was 15. (30 now) They are absolutely, 100%, no joke, brutally painful. In the midst of one of my ER trips, I told a nurse, who was ignoring me btw, "Please help me... My insides are melting. I'm not okay." Then I peed into a cup, and it was the color of dark tea. It only takes a tiny amount of blood to change the color of your urine, so my *URINARY TRACT* was bleeding ALOT. Also, the stones won't kill you, but the infection from the inability to pee and the internal injuries from the scraping will. I was really, really bad off during the last one, and even after. I had a horrible fever and headache for nearly two weeks, and my body felt ruined. I was living in a painful twilight zone. That being said, the thought of an INFANT, a teeny tiny baby, dealing with even a fraction of the pain I felt makes me nauseous. That's absolutely terrible. And it was all over money. Disgusting. Edited out of spite.

I have never felt so stressed and anxious in my life! I lost my 20's, 30's and part of my 40's to dialysis. The dialysis companies in America need to be investigated too. As they profit billions of dollars from Medicare and commercial insurance. Dialysis is big business. Perhaps Stephanie can do a podcast on the corporate greed of dialysis.

My husband got frequent kidney stones. He's a big strong stubborn man, and kidney stones brought him to his knees. I hated watching him suffer with a kidney stone. The last time, the stone was actually a catalyst to him getting a kidney infection, and that was serious. He was hospitalized, had the second procedure Stephanie mentioned, had a stent inserted into his ureter (the 'tube' between the kidneys and the bladder)and was down for a few days. I can't imagine a baby suffering like that. I hope all these families are eventually compensated somehow. By the way, this is great content.

Omg I’m so glad that this channel is providing more awareness of this case in other countries! I’m Chinese and I was an infant around the time this case occurred. My dad told me that the very first brand of baby formula he bought for me was very liquidy and suspicious looking so my parents swapped it out immediately with imported Taiwanese formula. I had some mild digestion issues and problems with my gastrointestinal tract as a result of switching formulas too quickly but I’m so grateful that my parents did that. We still don’t know if that first formula could have turned me into a “big head baby”, but if it could then who knows what would be of me today if I kept consuming that formula. And it’s so heartbreaking to think that so many children of my generation were exposed to this formula for a long time, resulting in intellectual disabilities. However, one thing about your video: I heard from my dad that the owners of those companies who manufactured the formula only got fined (or bribed someone (I think)) and received no jail time. I only heard that from him so I don’t know if it’s totally true and I can ask him for the source to verify. Thank you Stephanie for making this video!

​@@Kylieannn91 Some women can't produce enough milk for their babies. If they don't feed extra baby formula, baby can starve to death. In ancient times many might have death because of malnutrition or some villagers might have helped each other and feeding their babies. My brother was breastfed by a different women at the hospital who gave birth at the same time as my mother. My mother was not producing any milk. After coming home we started to use baby formula+ breastfeeding because it was still not enough. And baby can refuse to be breastfed after getting taste of baby formula. But we still tried giving a breastmilk even if it is a little to build an immunity.(Immunity can pass from a mother to baby through a breastmilk). So baby formula can be a life savior at least in nutrition part.

​@@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.

When the doors opened at 8am, they all literally ran to the baby formula put it in trollies, and split it up between them all at the counter to purchase the stuff. None was left after 8.02 when I walked by. I felt bad for the people affected, if it was sent to their families, sure. But these people wanting to make money affected people worldwide.

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 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.

My mom just had her last big kidney stone broken down through shockwave. We're so thankful! Now she's just taking meds to pee them out. But I didn't know they caused her so much pain until this video. 😢 I need to hug her extra tight tomorrow when I see her!

I suddenly understand why my family insists so much in porcelain, glass and clay stuff for food, and everything else either to refrigerate or throw in the trash. Thank you!

The moment you explained how melamine becomes dangerous just reminded me of that massive 2007 recall for dog food.

Hi stephanie, there is an afwful case in Belgium, Sanda Dia, a belgium student was murdered bij other students and the murderers only got community service as punishement. There was someone who outed the names of the muderers and he got a higher punishesment. This all happend a few years ago and people are mad! If you have time, it would rally help to get this story told to a big public. (sorry for my english, it is not my native language)

People who have the courage to question things, create needed change. Must respect to the doctor, the father of the 13 year olds, the parents and people who listened. Such a tragic incident for these babies and their families.

My boyfriend is one of the physically strongest people I know ,he's young ,Late 20s and I've seen him stung by bees, get into a bike accident and more and he never even flinched but during a kidney stone flare up, the man was in a fetal position, not even moving from the pain!!! Can't imagine all the pain these babies went through 😢

Hi Stephanie! Love the way you tell a story, I would love for you to cover Epik High`s Tablo`s story and also a Korean Air nut princess story. I know these stories are well known but it`s something about the way you tell a story it is very intriguing.
