I've read that DES increases breast cancer rates, particularly as women approach forty.Still, I think that birth control is a bigger contributor to endocrine disruptors for young women of today. Why a pill to control birth is highly dispensed to women and not men is a result of the FDA's, AMA's, and physicians' perceived inferior sexual difference of women, whose unique female reproductive tract is treated as a birth defect requiring a solution.
