re: #642 Kewalo

Thank you for saying that.

I still have an enormous problem with you asserting that you have as much of a right to an opinion on an objective, scientific truth is as anyone else, and your assumption that nobody is studying the effects of these hormones, antibiotics, etc in the environment.

It is true that very few people are studying the effects of oral ingestion of hormones in the water, because that science was thoroughly studied already— hormones in the water will not affect us in any great degree, because hormones are not fat soluble. However, people are studying, many many people, are studying the effects of all our various pollutants on the environment, including what those hormones are doing in the food chain in general.

Thank you for replying, but I still feel that you are making a grave mistake in hypothesizing without data and without a knowledge of the subject.
