Endocrine disruptors are all around us. They can be found naturally in more than three hundred plants that can bind with receptors in humans. Naturally occurring estrogens are common in many cereals, legumes, fruits, and vegetables. Chocolate, garlic, celery, coffee, grapefruit, tea, and other foods we enjoy every day have been shown to have antispermatogenic activity. It's difficult for many to remain balanced and objective when considering man-made chemicals in the environment that allegedly disrupt hormonal systems vs. the much greater amount of these disruptors we consume from everyday foods people have been enjoying for a long, long time.

Further study may be warranted but the fear is not.

Water is all around us too. That doesn’t make it smart to do stupid things with it.
