I just don’t understand how all these women who are on ABC for the long term can’t possibly see any long term hormone level problems stemming from this. I digress, but ugh, wow.This stuff really freaks me out. It’s all kinds of stuff we don’t, as a society, want to acknowledge … one of the big causes of hermaphroditic fish in the Potomac is birth-control pills (!!). The hormones in them are not filtered out of the treated sewage. Some other meds can cause hormonal issues, which doctors don’t divulge (because they may not even know about it).
We are keeping plastic toys away from our future children … we’re also investing in organic mattresses, etc. that don’t contain the same flame-retardant chemicals. We are trying hard to be pro-active about keeping chemicals away from us and out of our house. For example: we have given up buying ready-made cleaning products, and now make our own out of vinegar, Borax, and various other non-toxic stuff (It’s also much cheaper). We’re going to use cloth diapers, too. So there ARE things you can try to stay a little safer.
What is worse is that Vicki Thorn stated, “we are able to almost filter everything out of the water, but estrogen, we can’t, we just don’t safely know how.” Flippin Greeeeat!
