Here's another link for you kathy

The book "Our Stolen Future" is about endocrine disrupter and includes DDT and some thoughts on DES.

I have not read all of it as I bought it for specific research but the bits I have dipped and skimmed are depressingly thought provoking.

Thank you for posting this Robin

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 disruptor 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 medical community's perceived inferior sexual difference of women, whose unique female reproductive tract is treated as a birth defect requiring a solution.
