Greenpeace Report: Yes, All those Chemicals ARE killing our fertility

Posted on 09:25 by Unknown
Okay, before you slap on that chemical-laden suncreen or spray DEET all over yourself and/or your kids, please take a moment to check out the new comprehensive report from Greenpeace, Fragile: Our reproductive health and chemical exposure. Basically, the post-WWII bring-'em-on! chemical use is is catching up to us.

n.b. Rachel Carson, in Silent Spring, warned of the increasing prevalence of pediatric cancer, which was once almost unheard of. We are using exponentially MORE pesticides than we did since the book came out (shame on us), not to mention all the chemicals and plastics., etc.

Was it any wonder, then, that the ocology ward, when our son as in the hospital, was packed full, including with babies (he was 18 months old)??

Some fertility highlights:
. A dramatic decline in sperm counts over the past 50 years in many countries.

• Significant increases in testicular cancer.

• Infertility is thought to affect 15-20% of couples in industrialized countries compared to 7-8%
in the early 1960s.

• Girls are reaching puberty at a disturbingly early age in many parts of the world.

• The incidence of endometriosis in women has become alarmingly high in some countries.
Please remember, too, that even if one DOES manage to get pregnant, all these things that affect fertility/cause cancer can also affect the fetus,
