Doctors say they are seeing increasing numbers of children with kidney stones. This could represent more fallout from the obesity epidemic.
While exact numbers of children with kidney stones are elusive, physicians at children's clinics say the numbers are up. Proposed reasons include sedentary lifestyle, obesity increase, and processed high-salt diets.
A kidney stone is a hard mass that results when calcium oxalate or other urinary chemicals form sticky crystals. The crystals grow and become stones that can range in size from a grain of sand to a golf ball.
At the first week of September this 2008, 54,000 children were affected by dairy products like milk and chocolates containing Melamine, 74 of those victims died because of kidney failure because this substance produces stones in a person's kidney specially for children.
Melamin is now banned worldwide because of it's deadly effect and companies in asia are now trying to eliminate those dairy products containg this substance.
