Consider this: we share about 60% of our genes with mosquitoes, and even more with fish. Only about 1% separates us from chimps. Many hormones, and neuropeptides are pretty basic building blocks that we share with most evolved living species, and this includes mosquitoes and bony fish. So, the fact that these malformation are happening in fish does not bode well…

Corn…they always artificially find some purpose for it. Because why let the free market and lack of demand actually run anything?

Vinegar is a safe and natural way to do cleaning with, it does the job!

Nothing better than the Chemical Corn Exchange. “I traded three ears of corn for three beakers of chemicals.”

That is what the Firesign Theater stated on “We’re All Bozos on this Bus.”

Chemicals for Better Living!

Bathe everyday in MEK Methyl Ethyl Ketone! Sadly, when I was young this now banned chemical/solvent was used to wash the cement sealing goop off our teenage bodies. While the fumes could get you high, as the solvent melted your skin, it is, perhaps, the brain cell damage that does you in.

The other issue with birth control pills are the long-term health effects on the women who take these artificial hormones. There are probably multiple factors that explain why cancers of the breast and cervix are rare among Japanese women. One of those factors may be lower natural and artificial hormone levels. Few Japanese women take birth control pills.

McFly, why would the communists want us to have weak libidos? Glad there’s no fluoride in my water.

High levels of estrogen of any kind (synthetic, bio-identical, or our own production) is dangerous. This is why the one size fits all (synthetic HRT) is so absurd.

Oh, great point Billy! You’re right.

A good chemist, I suppose, will tell you there is really no difference between synthetic/natural. The question is what is healthy and what is not.

Yes, and we should watch out for flouride, which was invented by the communists to reduce our libidos.

But seriously, it depends on your definition of synthetic hormones. Is horse urine synthetic? Because that’s where your estrogen comes from (the estrogen in your pills, not in your body, your body’s estrogen comes from….your body).
