American Scientist Article: Environmental Estrogen

Concerned about Environmental Estrogens and how they are affecting your health? Check out this seven part article on Eco-estrogens at the site of the Scientific Research Society's webmagazine, "The American Scientist," to discover what science now knows about some of the chemicals in the environment. This article explains how these chemicals get into the cells of humans and animals, mimicking normal hormones in some ways but sending all the wrong signals. Since our own natural estrogens are associated with diseases ranging from breast cancer to uterine fibroids, the possibility that ecoestrogens may also be associated with these disorders is now under consideration.
