or SWD as was pointed out recently. I think this is a big key. Many of
the
pesticides and herbicides that are on the supermarket fruits and veggies
are estrogenic. These compounds have only been on/in our food and
water supply in the last 50 years or so. Also, it is only in that period
that growth hormones have been fed to meat and dairy animals. Since the
hormone load of meat and dairy products is constantly increasing, I
believe the problem will only get worse.
Recommendation 1: use organic meat and vegetables (and dairy if you use
it)
Recommendation 2: get to know the people that produce your food
Recommendation 3: Write the USDA and remind them that their charter
should
be to protect the consumer, not the agribusiness chemical companies.
off my soapbox now.....
