You’re asserting that something is true without having any scientific basis for it. The biggest problem I have is your statement that you are as entitled as anyone else to your opinion. That is not true, and it’s never true, except on subjective subjects. On any objective subject— like this one— that does not hold true.

That the studies are not accessible to you does not mean that they don’t exist— in fact, as has been noted already, the majority of hormone pollution doesn’t matter, since we can’t absorb it in the form it’s polluted in. Hormones are fat-soluble, not water soluble— and even then, only when they’re atomized (or moleculized, I guess) Your statement that the hormones in the water are affecting us is therefore going to be categorically untrue, since it is not possible for a fat-soluble item suspended in water to be absorbed into the body.

There are many, many more chemicals— ironically also from agriculture— that causes changes in human hormone levels but are not themselves hormones.

To me, you are simply saying your own opinion with no actual undersatnding of how hormones operate in the environment.
