Research shows:
2007 Collapse of a fish population after exposure to a synthetic estrogen Municipal wastewaters are a complex mixture containing estrogens and estrogen mimics that are known to affect the reproductive health of wild fishes. ... Within this group of substances, the estrogen used in birth-control pills, EE2, is one of the more potent estrogens present (9) and has been linked to the feminization of male fishes in rivers receiving municipal wastewater (4, 6). - https://www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pnas.0609568104
Human drugs make fish flounder 2012 - https://www.nature.com/articles/nature.2012.11843 Contraceptives and antidepressants can reduce fish reaction times and reproductive rates. Scientists have known for years that human medications, from anti-inflammatories to the hormones in birth-control pills, are ending up in waterways and affecting fish and other aquatic organisms. But researchers are only beginning to compile the many effects that those drugs seem to be having. And it isn't good news for the fish....Female fathead minnows seem to be unaffected by the chemical, but at concentrations of fluoxetine that are roughly comparable to the highest levels documented in fresh water, male minnows start to spend more time building their nests. When the dose is increased tenfold, the males "become obsessive, to the point they're ignoring the females", Klaper said.
2020 Scientists have found estrogen at as much as 16 times that concentration in streams adjacent to sewage treatment plants. Fish exposed to even small amounts of estrogen produce fewer males. A biologist conducted experiments with North American freshwater fish called least killifish. She found that fish exposed to estrogen in concentrations of 5 nanograms per liter in controlled lab conditions had fewer males and produced fewer offspring. Scientists have found estrogen at as much as 16 times that concentration in streams adjacent to sewage treatment plants. - https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2020/10/201023123100.htm
2021 Hormone-disrupting chemicals found in popular US fast foods...Phthalates are a class of plasticizers that manufacturers use to make plastic materials softer and more flexible....Phthalates can leach into food during food processing, preparation, and handling. While phthalates are ubiquitous and present in medical devices, toys, clothing, and personal care products, experts believe that diet is one of the major sources of exposure...Phthalates such as DnBP and DEHP can interfere withTrusted Source the activity of thyroid hormones and steroid hormones, including estrogen and testosterone. - https://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/hormone-disrupting-chemicals-found-in-popular-us-fast-foods
Sex Hormones in Meat and Dairy Products...The hormones found in dairy foods, while naturally occurring, do have biological effects in both humans and animals. As sex hormones are part of animal metabolism, any product deriving from an animal source will contain these hormones. The effects from consuming these hormones can range from growth promotion related to sex steroids to carcinogenic effects. - https://www.news-medical.net/health/Sex-Hormones-in-Meat-and-Dairy-Products.aspx

But the indestructibility of PFAS, per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances, means the pollutants...

...have no discernible metabolic impact on a living things.

Come fish the Carson River or Lahotan Reservoir.

Don't eat the quicksilver fish...
