* O.K., so it's the nitrogen--still don't know if it's the dishes though. A lot of people in the U.S. have eaten off melamine dishes since the '5O's at least. Could explain a lot. . .
*Question? Is this the same melamine that melamine DISHES are made from that you can get to eat off of?? I don't get how a powder of that (if it's the same stuff) boosts protein counts in anything!
