Boys and Girls??

A recent study out of Denmark has shown that young children are at risk from a wide array of "gender bending" chemicals. These chemicals are found in thousands of items from rubber boots, disposable diapers, food, sunscreen, cosmetics, laundry products, household cleaners, etc. etc.

The official 326 page Danish report shows that this chemical cocktail is driving down sperm counts and "feminizing" boys in the so called 'developed world'. The researchers found that young boys could be at "critical risk" from just a few exposures to high levels from rubber clogs, food or sunscreens. Also implicated are dioxins, PVC, flame retardants and phthalates, which are widely used to soften plastics. A study of umbilical cords from British mothers found that every one tested contained hazardous chemicals.

Normally 106 boys are born for every 100 girls. Now the number of boys is dropping and in some countries more girls are born than boys. In parts of Canada, that are contaminated with higher levels of chemicals, far more girls are born than boys.
