José Benítez, the mayor of Huarmey, a town on the coast of central Peru, claims that the high levels of strontium in the local tap water is reducing male hormones and causing an increase in the homosexual population, reported Peruvian newspaper, La Republica.
Benitez made the comments at the launch of a local water access project, it was reported. The mayor's audience was surprised by his comments, and he is being criticized by some for his "ignorance."
Dr. Robert Castro Rodriguez, dean of the College of Pharmaceutical Chemistry of Lima, said Benitez's claims were off the mark, telling a Peruvian radio station that high amounts of strontium could lead to bone cancer, anemia and cardiovascular complications, but not homosexuality.
This is not the first time a South American politician has blamed chemistry for homosexuality. In 2009, Bolivian president Evo Morales said that hormones injected into chicken can not only turn people gay, but bald as well.

Bottled water sales are expected to go through the roof!
Or they might be moving in because of low rents.
Not that there’s anything wrong with that...
Might not be so cuckoo after all. I do believe all the estrogens in our drinking water from women on the Pill does feminize men.
I’ll go crawl into my flame retardant suit now.
San Francisco sees massive loss of male population! News at eleven...
But water will not hydrate you in Europe by law.
Well, there must be some reason why Hollywood had decided to feminize their male co-stars. You just might have have a valid point, but why is it happening all over America?
Thank goodness, that only applies to Europeans!
I’ll be joining you in donning the asbestos suit.
I don’t know if it necessarily feminizes men, but I’m sure it all that estrogen has got to do something.
Maybe it’s why we have to suffer through these stupid “Twilight” movies.
Maybe it’s why every man you see presented on TV, or in the films, seems to have absolutely zero body hair. Last time I checked, men are supposed to have hair on the chest, right? I do.
Purity Of Essence.
Essence of Purity.
That’s what it’s all about!
well men are becoming less manly and some of that is due to them being raised like girls, some being told it is alright to act like a girl and some being told to never have a fight.
Now you know why America fluoridates our tap water, you prissy little Peruvian poop-pushers.
Ah, the masculine approach! I prefer wine myself (at least they say that it’s good for you)...
Stunning.
Heh! Hey,k it’s all a conspiracy to change us into feminist lovers... Damn, it must be working, I now love women!
Ah well, they keep trying...heh, boys will be boys and girls, will be whatever the current philosophers say they will be...heh.
Good news the remedy is Scotch.....Or Bourbon as needed! LOL...
