The effect of synthetic estrogens is being brought to the forefront and the public is starting to understand their role in cancer development. These "xenoestrogens" easily compete with our natural estrogen receptor sites and this leads to elevated blood estrogen which causes a whole host of problems including elevated cancer risk. And according to a University of London study, a number of pesticides block male hormones as well.
Men can also be affected by altered estrogen levels, although not to the degree that women will given their naturally higher levels of this hormone. As presented by this recent study, men should take into consideration the effect that pesticides have on their dominant hormones. The following link to Environmental Health News is a must read to understand what to look for and why it is worthwhile to work these chemicals out of your daily life.
