THE UNDRINKABLE The Truth About Your Food, Water & Atrazine

in #food6 years ago (edited)


The herbicide atrazine is one of the most commonly applied pesticides in the world and is routinely sprayed on the most commonly used crop in the world (corn) atrazine is still used today in the USA but was stopped in the EU in 2004 but many endocrine affecting pesticides still remain. As a result, atrazine is the most commonly detected pesticide contaminant of ground, surface, and drinking water.

Atrazine is also a potent endocrine disruptor that is active at low, ecologically relevant concentrations.

Atrazine-exposed males were both demasculinized (chemically castrated) and completely feminized as adults, does this sound familiar to anyone, I thought people were born this way?. Ten percent of the exposed genetic males developed into functional females that copulated with unexposed males and produced viable eggs.

Atrazine-exposed males suffered from depressed testosterone, decreased breeding gland size, demasculinized/feminized laryngeal development, suppressed mating behavior and decreased fertility.

Tyrone Hayes was researching atrazine and the chemical company didn't like his findings and set out to destroy his life and his reputation, now why would they do that?

As always make your own mind up and do the research http://www.panna.org/resources/atrazine
