My note: More of these stories are popping up lately. It's really no surprise that the toxic soup we live in is responsible for adverse or unknown health effects. To believers, it's also no surprise that as we strive to rail against God's plan and violate our own nature with chemical birth control and abortion that we cause strange reactions. Those of us over the age of 40 remember when it was rare for a young person to exhibit homosexual tendencies. Now no one can argue that there is an explosion of homosexuality wherever you look. And seemingly its not all behavioral. Might there be an environmental link? The first story is about observations in the UK of changes in nature linked to the pill and the second story is about a scientific study that the pill in the environment caused the feminization of fish. Could this explain the shift in human behavior? Tampering with natural law is almost always risky. Unintended consequences are likely. And with powerful corporation standing to gain billions from trafficking the pill and using profits to corrupt governments, no one should be surprised how rare these articles are.Singing starlings and why thousands of babies who should have been boys are being born as girlsBy GEOFFREY LEAN Next time you hear a starling sing, stop and listen hard. It may well be warning of a peril that endangers the whole world of nature - and the very future of the human race itself.
For scientists have found that gender-bender chemicals - increasingly contaminating the environment, our food, our water and our bodies - are having a bizarre effect on common birds, causing the males to give voice to longer and more complex songs. This is only the latest in a long series of increasingly urgent alarms being sounded by wildlife against an insidious but devastating danger that threatens our children. But so far our leaders have steadfastly and scandalously turned a deaf ear to them - and, even more shamefully, ignored the first signs that the peril is already affecting birth patterns, causing thousands of babies who should have been boys to be born as girls instead. Starlings and their diverse, complicated and mimicking - though not beautiful - songs have long fascinated humanity. Mozart was entranced by a starling after it copied a tune that the great composer was whistling in a pet store.

Recently, scientists have also begun to warn of the possible carcinogenic effects of the build-up of estrogenic chemicals in drinking water. As early as 2002, the UK Environment Agency warned that fish stocks in British rivers were showing signs of gender ambiguity as a result of high levels of estrogen in the water. A survey of 1,500 fish at 50 river sites found more than a third of males also displayed female characteristics. Research by Dr Jayne Brian and Professor John Sumpter at Brunel University's Institute for the Environment, showed estrogenic chemicals are affecting the reproduction and gender of aquatic life and warned of the affect on the reproductive ability of humans. The two researchers are calling for a reassessment of EU legislation regulating chemicals. "There is a cocktail of chemicals in our fresh water. We need to consider tougher safety margins to fully protect wildlife and humans." Two years ago, University of Colorado scientists, sponsored by the Environmental Protection Agency, found that of 123 fish caught in Boulder Creek downstream from the Boulder sewage treatment plant, 101 were female, 12 were male, and 10 had both male and female characteristics. The strange case of the trans-gendered fish is "the first thing that I've seen as a scientist that really scared me," University of Colorado biologist John Woodling told the Denver Post at the time.Read the rest here.Labels: Birth Control, Environment, Homosexuality, Pill
