Xeno-estrogens in the environment are known to cause impaired or ambivalent sexual development in many vertebrates.
Most of our watersheds are contaminated with estrogens and estradiols. Plus, according to the American Academy of Pediatrics, soy-based (infant) formula is now 25 percent of the market in the United States. Soy is known to have estrogenic effects.
This does not mean that those 25% of babies + God-knows how many kids exposed to estrogen-contaminated water, are going to turn out gay, transsexual or gender-confused.
We just don't know how many will.
As a general observation, as the use of hormone-based birth control and soy-based infant formula has risen, so has general gender confusion.
We all know correlation does not equal causation. But if we never research it, we'll never know if there IS causation.
I fear the results of our incuriosity may become catastrophic.
Please don’t tell me that you’ve bought the crock too! Please!
What we have in this article are parents who are sick and shouldn’t be in a position of authority over anything more complicated than Tonka trucks..
..but there are lots of horrifically unqualified “parents” out there without the sense God gave a garden gnome.
*sigh*
