In keeping a subject flow, lets continue the stories about milk this week. With the woes of practically everything coming out of China having something wrong with it, most recently milk. Four children have died and 13,000, let me say that again thirteen thousand remain hospitalized after drinking milk from China that was tainted with a chemical called melamine.
The Sanlu Group has put out an apology, which makes everything better since they said I am sorry. From my own personal experience, here in Japan when we go to the grocery store, you see items from China. There are two distinct things that I notice on the Chinese goods that I see, 1. they are very cheap, and 2. there are a lot of them on the shelves because nobody is buying them.
Now I am in no way taking a shot at China, but only reporting the facts, there needs to be government intervention into a serious problem that is arising recently with products that are coming out of China. Of course there are 1000’s of other products that come from China, with no problems whatsoever, and because the products that do have problems, is a big story with the various news groups, it makes the problem appear to be larger than what it is.
Nonetheless, when people are loosing their lives, something needs to be done about it. A Japanese company capitalizing on the bad news has recently come up with a innovative idea for a new milk product. Nakazawa Foods have introduced a new product which is Milk for Adults. How is the milk different you ask; the milk is marketed with the stressed out adult in mind. Stressed out adults is a common problem in the Big City of Tokyo and other large cities throughout Japan.

Nakazawa claims that the milk for adults contains three to four times more melatonin than regular milk does, thereby reducing stress and causing the consumer to get a good nights rest. The milk is taken from cows once a week at the break of dawn, and bottled within 6 hours. Nakazawa Foods say cows discharge a lot of the hormone during the night.
But for the trouble of taking the milk at odd hours the milk commands an odd price, which is nearly 30 times more than regular milk. a one liter bottle costs 5000¥ which is about ($49.00). Worth it in your opinion? Not in mine.
If I wanted to get extra melatonin, there are tons of melatonin supplements on the market, that will satisfy my stress relief needs. Although living in Hokkaido doesn’t present me with much stress. After 7 months I have become accustomed to a slower pace, and am enjoying it quite nicely.
Would you pay 30 times more for milk for adults that will relieve stress and make you sleep better? I would like to hear your comments! Until next time take care all.
