the willies

Submitted by Anne Dalke on Fri, 11/13/2009 - 6:15pm.

So here's another way we may all be becoming intersexed....via the large amount of synthetic estrogen now used in plastics, epoxies and our food. In mice it means lower sperm counts for males, early puberty for females, and abnormalities in the cervix, uterus and vagina for the babies. Nicholas Kristof, who writes about this in Chemicals in Our Food, and Bodies, says that "endocrine disrupting chemicals" give him "the willies."

No HoMo.
