You're disrespectfully referring to the work of Dr. Tyrone Hayes [1] of The University of California at Berkeley, who discovered that Syngenta's herbicide Atrazine is indeed an endocrine disruptor, causing frogs (of both genders I believe) to turn hemaphroditic, develop both male & female gonads-- i.e. males developing ovaries, females developing testes.

Do you... prefer pollutants in your water?

Do you... approve of chemical companies privatizing the gains (profits) of externalizing pollutants into innocent ecosystems and humans?

Or maybe... you just really love to be told what to think by media overlords [2].

Estrogen and estrogen-like plastics in waterways is a huge problem. Some people mis interpreted it, but that doesn’t discount the fact that plastics are a huge problem that are interfering with nature.

Sorry, my attempt at sarcasm. I know it's a serious problem, but that wasn't Alex Jones' take on it.

Why Alex Jones? Because the person I was responding to sounded like him.
