    Apparently it has become more and more common. It seems to make sense that built up toxins may interfere with the reproductive process, but has there been any proof of the fetal hormone imbalance theory?

    The chemicals which are used in tranquilizers have been found in fish here. Our lakes recycle waste water - who knows what lurks in these waters?

    Its the Oestrogen in the water supply, here in london there is so much of it, when you turn the tap on you wait 5 minutes before the water comes out, while it checks its lippy and makeup, lol
