Rating:  - More info just out
A new report just out Dec. 8, 2008, by Britain's ChemTrust, reports and summarizes findings from studies from over 200 environmental scientists that have found 'gender-bender' reproduction abnormalities and lowered sperm counts in species that include, deer, polar bears--and human babies.
These scientists now say the findings "are a red flag" for humanity and show that evolution itself is being disrupted.
Our Stolen Future was written over 10 years ago. Today these new ... Read More

The inside cover of Our Stolen Future says: "...by two leading environmental scientists and an environmental journalist, is the first book to piece together the compelling evidence from wildlife studies, laboratory experiments, and human data and to lay out the emerging scientific case regarding this largely unrecognized threat. Picking up where Silent Spring left off, it reveals the underlying causes of the symptoms that had so alarmed Carson."
In this book, I got a look at the role that certain ... Read More
