Baby formula is cut with drugs to fluff it without being toxic. At least that's what I was told.
At first I read this as if you were implying that manufacturers added drugs to baby formula as cheap fluff, which, I was just… WTF???
I think what you are trying to say is that drugs are cut with baby formula, not the other way around.
Supermarkets where I live used to have a limit on how much baby formula one customer can buy in one visit because people buy all of it to take back to China to sell, because some people in China don't trust the local baby formula since the 2008 Chinese milk scandal.
There is a slight chance someone is doing something for bad reasons so lets stop all people, including thise who need it from doing the same.
I suppose it's the difference of taking 1 vs filling a tote
Powdered milk is much cheaper, I don't know why you'd waste money on formula. Corn starch is cheaper still. If you're cutting like that you're obviously just trying to pass visual inspection, why not chalk or talc? Cheap in bulk.
You'd taste the creaminess if you're rubbing it on your gums, and if you're cutting something someone plans to inject why bother with non toxic? Milk doesn't belong in the veins either.
There used to be a huge resale market for Western formula sold in China because in the 2000s a lot of Chinese formula didn't meet minimum safety standards so Chinese parents resorted to the black market to keep their infants safe.
It's free if you take it instead of buy it. I never knew there was a demand in China for it. I'm also not well versed in drug cutting, it was just what I heads. Thanks for all the info, I genuinely appreciate it.
