Back a long time ago, I can't remember when, I read a story about the outflow from the waste treatment plant on the Thames River in England having strange things happen in the river at the entry point. The fish were becoming non-reproductive, indeed male fish were developing ovaries. They could not reproduce of course. A thorough examination of the water coming out of those treatment plants was made, and nothing was found that could cause such a strange thing to happen.
A little while later, a woman in a US state was doing a study of the effect of having banned DDT from use as it applied to marshy water areas. It had been something like 50 years that that poison had been stopped from use. It had been killing the creatures in and around the water, so she wanted to know if the life had returned to normal there. She found that none had, and she published her findings in some journal for others to see.
Then there was a woman doctor in Rhode Island who had been doing research on breast cancer. She noticed that the sample of cancer she had kept in sterile water in plastic Petri dishes (Named after the German bacteriologist Julius Richard Petri, that is a shallow cylindrical glass or plastic lidded dish that biologists use to culture cells – such as bacteria) were growing. How could that be, she thought, as there was absolutely nothing in them but sterile water. She found that the plastic dishes were letting miniscule amounts of a chemical called Nonylphenol into that water and causing the cancer cells to grow. She published her findings in the New England Journal of Medicine (I think it was).
That publication caused the researcher in the marshy areas to look for it and sure enough she found it still present. That information made it also to London where it caused the researchers to discover it in the Thames River and was the cause of the fish becoming sterile. They saw that it caused cancer to grow also and for the male fish to become feminized.
Now today we have this current article in the BBC News:
In this article they state that they have found significant amounts of plastic in bottled water. Read it and see for yourself. But they miss the fact that plastic contains nonylphenons and that is the cause of sterility, sexual changes, cancer, and even birth defects.
How long does it take for humanity to recognize real dangers as opposed to the fake ones such as Global Worming promoted in the scam published by Al "Bloody Mess" Gore that was titled incorrectly and should have been A Convenient Lie.
Search on "nonylphenol in plastic products" and you will see that it is used in makeup products, soap for laundry use, and many other products that have a direct contact with humans by ingestion or skin contact.
Is there any surprise that there are now so many cross-gendered people, reduced sperm counts in men, and masculine women?
And who produces it, one of the four most highly produced chemicals in the world, why of course it's DOW Chemical.
