Chances are probably slim and none that this glass of milk did him in for the kidney stone, but makes for a great story. This one was too good to slip by. BD
On Sept 26, in Tianjin at the World Economic Forum, EU Trade Commissioner Peter Mandelson drank a glass of milk (click to see video) in front of the media to show his support for the Chinese dairy industry and said:
The Europeans will continue to expect the highest standards, just as Chinese consumers are demanding the same…. But in the meantime I shall continue drinking my own favorite, er, milk, er, product, er, er, which I enjoy and which does not make me nervous.
"Over the past few days, Peter Mandelson has been experiencing some kidney pain," a spokesman said.
"Hospital tests yesterday confirmed that there is a small stone. This will be dealt with by the normal procedures later today.
"He will be attending the National Economic Council meeting this morning as expected."
