A while ago someone emailed the list about certain deformaties in fish.  I posted back some information about a documentary I saw concerning estrogen like substances that had been found to cause various deformaties in males (human and animal/fish) and them to behave in female like manner eg attempt to reproduce eggs etc.  I remember at the time quite a few people stuck their nose up at the studies the program presented (one who worked for a chemical company and who said - with such an air of infallibility - that he would never be involved with something that could cause this much harm).  I recently have come across this article on the net that runs along similar lines.  It might be of some interest to open minded people who do not presume that they know all things.
