Your Gonads On Endocrine Disruptors

 "New Concerns About Phthalates" (11)

The normal testis, left, comes from a healthy male rat. Tissues center and right come from a rat exposed to DEHP while its reproductive tract was maturing. The center tissue is a small testis filled with fluid. The corresponding tissue from the other side of the same animal exhibits no visible testis or sperm-storing epididymis. Another DEHP-exposed animal from the same set of EPA tests developed a "testis" that was nothing but a sack of blood.

From Steve -  Quotes to Ponder:

"The first task is population control at home. How do we go about it? Many of my colleagues feel that some sort of compulsory birth regulation would be necessary to achieve such control. One plan often mentioned involves the addition of temporary sterilants to water supplies or staple food. Doses of the antidote would be carefully rationed by the government to produce the desired population size." — Paul Ehrlich, The Population Bomb, p.135

"A total population of 250-300 million people, a 95% decline from present levels, would be ideal." — Ted Turner - CNN founder and UN supporter - quoted in The McAlvany Intelligence Advisor, June '96

"Childbearing [should be] a punishable crime against society, unless the parents hold a government license ... All potential parents [should be] required to use contraceptive chemicals, the government issuing antidotes to citizens chosen for childbearing." — David Brower - first Executive Director of the Sierra Club; founder of Friends of the Earth; and founder of the Earth Island Institute - quoted by Dixie Lee Ray, Trashing the Planet, p.166

"Truth is not what is; truth is what people perceive it to be." -- Adolf Hitler, Propaganda Maxim
