[Mrs. Don-o]

A acquaintance of mine has been reviewing the research on abnormalities on sexual physiology in fish and amphibians in California. He's seeing nontraditional (nonmonotonic) dose response curves, possibly because low concentrations of different endocrine disruptors are synergistic.

He said nobody "wants" to look at the effects of contamination from sewage sludge from human populations where there's a lot of females on synthetic sex hormones. That would be OC's and HRT.

He's encountered political/ideological pressure to minimize such findings. Nobody "wants" to find that oral contraceptives are queering the fish. Or that human males may be skewed prenatally or in early childhood by exposure to water containing exoestrogens.

This “problem” is entirely pushed by Environmental Working Group, a Soros funded bunch of lunatics.

Anything measured in parts per billion in the water is nothing to be concerned with. Anything in parts per trillion (many of these chemicals in the water fall in this category) is a joke.

Just because traces of hormones (endocrine disrupters) are measurable in the water these fish are in, do not mean the two are related. These people would prefer massive regulation to eliminate any trace of chemicals in water, whether there is a threat or not.

This is not about our health, or the health of fish.
