Thanks for the pointer.  A search for "xenoestrogens premature birth"
threw up this book: http://www.ourstolenfuture.org/Myths/myths.htm
which I'll make an effort to read some time.  After a quick scan
through I'm having a rethink.  Previously I assumed that food (mainly
wheat and pasteurised, homogenised milk) was responsible for
virtually all illness.  Now I wonder if chemicals in the food and are
responsible for a big share.
