Our Stolen Future:

Colbern brings to light the effect of environmental hormone mimics on animal and human development. The fact that the close connection between humans and animals are disregarded is highlighted. Based on research on DES (a synthetic hormone drug), scientists found that animals are equally if not more, affected by toxins in the environment as much as humans. Exposure from these chemicals in high and low doses have been related to several abnormalities in both humans and animals. Despite the similarity between the latter, results from animals’ studies are often ignored. Hormone disruption is an alarming issue and needs to be addressed promptly before it’s too late.
