Discarded estrogen products contaminating our water....How could this be!!!

This past Monday, the Washington Post wrote: "As more male bass switch sex, a strange fish story expands." It commented that, "In urban areas, estrogen products are often flushed down drains, contaminating water." It did not bother to connect the dots....

Several years ago, it was noted that "NFP is ecologically friendly and environmentally responsible. It is a 'green method' in that it involves no contraceptive drugs or chemical hormones that can be excreted into the public water system. Discarded and excreted contraceptive drugs have been having harmful effects on the U.S.’s aquatic animals, especially fish. Like secondhand smoke, secondhand estrogens are being released into the environment and are causing harm to wildlife" (Cardinal Rigali, 7/21/10).
