Here's something rather rotten from the State of Denmark. Its government yesterday unveiled official research showing that two-year-old children are at risk from a bewildering array of gender-bending chemicals in such everyday items as waterproof clothes, rubber boots, bed linen, food, nappies, sunscreen lotion and moisturising cream.
The 326-page report, published by the environment protection agency, is the latest piece in an increasingly alarming jigsaw. A picture is emerging of ubiquitous chemical contamination driving down sperm counts and feminising male children all over the developed world. And anti-pollution measures and regulations are falling far short of getting to grips with it.
Sperm counts are falling so fast that young men are less fertile than their fathers and produce only a third as much, proportionately, as hamsters. And gender-bending chemicals are increasingly being blamed for the mystery of the "lost boys": babies who should normally be male who have been born as girls instead.
The Danish government set out to find out how much contamination from gender-bending chemicals a two-year-old child was exposed to every day. It concluded that a child could be "at critical risk" from just a few exposures to high levels of the substances, such as from rubber clogs, and imperilled by the amount it absorbed from sources ranging from food to sunscreens.
The results build on earlier studies showing that British children have higher levels of gender-bending chemicals in their blood than their parents or grandparents. Indeed WWF (formerly the World Wildlife Fund), which commissioned the older research, warned that the chemicals were so widespread that "there is very little, if anything, individuals can do to prevent contamination of themselves and their families."

Posssible interest to your ping list.
Ping!
They also spend MUCH MUCH more time on the internet than their fathers did.
Sperm count is overrated. You only need one.
La la la Lola
There are a lot of studies out there that point to our increased use of plastics that say the same thing. Especially if plastic is heated with a food or beverage in them some release something that mimics a synthetic estrogen. Needless to say I try to not buy much in plastic but now days it is getting harder and harder to do.
ping...(may be of interest).
Government studies? Don’t think I’d give a smelly Obama about any of them. Please, please, read some good scientific literature (backed up by peer reviews and given time) before jumping in the “sky is falling” pool.
I'm so sick of ads where the men are portrayed as idiots and the women as mature, competent adults I could barf.
I have to admit that I have wondered if the hormones injected into beef cattle have anything to do with the increase in male homosexuality.
>>Indeed WWF (formerly the World Wildlife Fund)<<
Grain of salt.
They are also, by peer pressure, forced to use something called guy-liner on their eyelashes. Otherwise, they are instantly labeled "Jocks" I would say that at least 50% of the guys in her school look like they are full blown gays.
The sad part is that we do not live in a "leftist" city. We live in a very conservative area of Michigan.
The left has almost totally succeeded in the gaying of America's youth.
Tea with lemon? Try it in a styrofoam cup and see what happens.
I think this stuff is turning Republicans into RINOs, too.
The Left wants us the be conquered by the Islamists, who really hate Homosexuality.
This is the reality, Obama/Democrats/Commies WANT us to lose/die/be eslaved.
Do not fool yourself, the gays in the military, hate crime law, transgendered garbage is a way to WEAKEN us...if you hurt anyone, it should be prosecuted, the Left wants us to all die (see abortion and eco-wackos).
This is BS. Boys turn into girls because the PC system gelds them.
The natural plant estrogens in soy (tofu, soy flour, soy oil, ...) another reason for the femininization of boys in modern society. The over exposure of soy within processed foods can lead to all sorts of health problems, especially among infants, children and young teens.
