#492 - What Causes Declining Sperm

A month ago, Ms. Kolata savagely attacked the new book, OUR STOLEN FUTURE,[2] claiming that "careful studies" (none of which she cited) had "refuted" the premise of the book. (See REHW #486.) OUR STOLEN FUTURE reviewed hundreds of studies published in peer-reviewed journals. The book offers substantial evidence that industrial pollutants may be interfering with the hormones that regulate growth, health and behavior in wildlife and humans, thus contributing to birth defects, problems of sexual development, breast cancer, prostate cancer, and even mental problems like attention deficit disorder, diminished IQ, and violent behavior.
