Well I’ll be.
A factually accurate, non-hysterical story from PBS?
Will wonders never cease?
My FIL kept Arsenate of Lead in his shed.
I have one of those too.
How many miles of fence do you maintain?
Yet another reason to avoid courtrooms.
I’m no longer directly involved, my family manages it. But I am going to estimate just 3 to 4 miles. These are dairy farms in the Northeast, not some big monster ranches out West.
Why yes, yes it is.
But you are unlikely to find the likes of this in the MSM:
The emerging class of environmental estrogens are not naturally
occurring; they are manmade estrogenic chemicals. These synthetic
chemicals which mimic estrogen are found in pharmaceuticals (drug
estrogens, i.e., birth control pills, hormone replacement therapy),
pesticides, products associated with plastics, household products,
industrial chemicals, and heavy metals. They are endocrine
disrupting hormones.
Natural hormones: estrone, beta estradiol, estriol, and phyto-
estrogens are short lived. They stay in the blood stream for minutes
to hours and then are broken down by enzymes in the liver into
pieces which are either excreted or used to build other molecules.
They are not bioaccumulative in fatty tissue. Estrogenic drugs such as
ethynylestradiol found in birth control pills are more stable and
remain in the body longer than natural estrogens. Two large classes
of drug estrogens are birth control pills and hormone replacement
therapy. - http://nywea.org/Clearwaters/08-3-fall/05-EstrogenInWastewater.pdf
Why would enviromentalists hate safe weed killers?
Because they kill plants on a large scale, and makes farming on a large scale economically feasible. Simple as that.
Feed glyphosate to prisoners. One way or another we will find out if it is safe to use.
Meanwhile use DDT.
DDT = pesticide.
Glyphosate = herbicide.
But ok I am down with using DDT.
Never said that was a claim. Only one organization (WHO) states that it probably is carcinogenic, while every other study says they see no evidence of it being carcinogenic.
IARC’s conclusions are based on multiple studies.
Probably is not a conclusion, it is a guess. Not good enough I’m afraid.
