There is something rather rotten from the State of Denmark. Its government unveiled official research showing that two-year-old children are at risk from a bewildering array of gender-bending chemicals in such everyday items as waterproof clothes, rubber boots, bed linen, food, nappies, sunscreen lotion and moisturizing cream. Phthlate seems to be the main chemical that researchers are focusing on but also cause for concern is dioxins, PVC, flame retardants, and the now largely banned PCBs, one and a half million tons of which were used in countless products from paints to electrical equipment. The 326-page report, published by the environment protection agency, is the latest piece in an increasingly alarming jigsaw. A picture is emerging of ubiquitous chemical contamination driving down sperm counts and feminising male children all over the developed world. And anti-pollution measures and regulations are falling far short of getting to grips with it.

Sperm counts are falling so fast that young men are less fertile than their fathers and produce only a third as much, proportionately, as hamsters. And gender-bending chemicals are increasingly being blamed for the mystery of the “lost boys”: babies who should normally be male who have been born as girls instead.

The Danish government set out to find out how much contamination from gender-bending chemicals a two-year-old child was exposed to every day. It concluded that a child could be “at critical risk” from just a few exposures to high levels of the substances, such as from rubber clogs, and imperilled by the amount it absorbed from sources ranging from food to sunscreens.

The results build on earlier studies showing that British children have higher levels of gender-bending chemicals in their blood than their parents or grandparents. Indeed WWF (formerly the World Wildlife Fund), which commissioned the older research, warned that the chemicals were so widespread that “there is very little, if anything, individuals can do to prevent contamination of themselves and their families.” Prominent among them are dioxins, PVC, flame retardants, phthalates (extensively used to soften plastics) and the now largely banned PCBs, one and a half million tons of which were used in countless products from paints to electrical equipment.

Young boys, like those in the Danish study, could end up producing less sperm and developing feminised behaviour. Research at Rotterdam’s Erasmus University found that boys whose mothers were exposed to PCBs and dioxins were more likely to play with dolls and tea sets and dress up in female clothes.

And it is in the womb that babies are most vulnerable; a study of umbilical cords from British mothers found that every one contained hazardous chemicals. Scientists at the University of Rochester in New York discovered that boys born to women exposed to phthalates had smaller penises and other feminisation of the genitals.

The contamination may also offer a clue to a mysterious shift in the sex of babies. Normally 106 boys are born for every 100 girls: it is thought to be nature’s way of making up for the fact that men were more likely to be killed hunting or in conflict. But the proportion of females is rising, so much so that some 250,000 babies who statistically should have been boys have ended up as girls in Japan and the United States alone. In Britain, the discrepancy amounts to thousands of babies a year.

A Canadian Indian community living on ancestral lands at the eastern tip of Lake Huron, hemmed in by one of the biggest agglomerations of chemical factories on earth, gives birth to twice as many girls as boys. It’s the same around Seveso in Italy, contaminated with dioxins from a notorious accident in the 1970s, and among Russian pesticide workers. And there’s more evidence from places as far apart as Israel and Taiwan, Brazil and the Arctic.

Yet gender-benders are largely exempt from new EU regulations controlling hazardous chemicals. Britain, then under Tony Blair’s premiership, was largely responsible for this – restricting their inclusion in the first draft of the legislation, and then causing even what was included to be watered down.Confidential documents show that it did so after pressure from George W Bush’s administration, which protested that US exports “could be impacted”.

Now the Danish government is planning to lobby to have the rules toughened up. It is particularly concerned by other studies which show that gender-bending chemicals acting together have far worse effects than the expected sum of their individual impacts. It wants this to be reflected in the regulations, citing its discovery of the many sources to which the two-year-olds are exposed – modern slings and arrows, as it were, of outrageous fortune.

    Leave it to the Bush Administration ………. anything for a buck and to hell with mankind, present or future. And Obama, according to his dismal record so far, will no doubt try to sweep this issue under the rug, as well.

    When it comes to politics and politicians, “Damn the torpedoes, full speed ahead”. We should be emphasizing a roll back to smaller communities and getting people back to the soil and NOT this NWO garbage that only serves to strip ethnic identification from every human being on the planet. The Copenhagen meetings, NAFTA, CAFTA, GATT, Carbon Credits; these are all buzz words for eventual loss of identity and huge profits for corporations

    Being human is to have a sense of community, and these “Wolf in Sheep’s Clothing” endeavors like Cap and Trade, under the phony illusion of helping our atmosphere, are just sneaky ways to destabilize every country’s God given right to sovereignty. Don’t be fooled.

    We have an environmental problem, chemically as well as atmospherically, but it’s power hungry politicians who are fanning the flames of this fire, now. They didn’t listen to the academics and philosophers for the last 100 years and instead of insisting on a serious paradigm change in the way television ads present huge trucks tearing up clots of some pristine mountain trail, politicians should be pushing for making our available choices toward smaller and SLOWER vehicles (and GM wonders where the market went). Communities should have been designed so that people could actually walk to work or ride a bicycle.

    But NO, we’ve known about these solutions for decades yet the politicians have lined their slimy pockets with lobbying monies and these whores of society are posturing themselves up quite nicely to rape the citizens once again, telling us that WE have to clean up the mess, a mess that they were paid to avoid in the first place.

    Isn’t that why we ahve leaders ….. to lead, to hopefully use the WISDOM and EXPERIENCE they claim to have to avoid the pitfalls? These people couldn’t run a successful lemonade stand. Why do we keep electing them into office? I know why; because too many people fear the unknown and would rather vote for some sleazebag they know than take a chance to change anything.

    Think about that in 2010 when all the House seats are up for grabs. Think long and hard, before you put your incumbent back in office.

    Leave it to the Bush Administration? Are you kidding? Like that was the only one! Like this one is so much better! Appointing Michael Taylor, former Monsanto big wig to head the FDA?! That was Obama, not Bush. Get a clue. They’re ALL in it together. People vote by their wallets, so we the people are as much to blame for our unwillingness to do without. Voluntary Simplicity - now there’s a paradigm shift that might actually make a difference.

    Yes, it’s time to look at the bigger picture and stop fighting amongst ourselves. It’s not right against left or black against white. Throw that all out the window because as long as we bickering between ourselves, we are no threat to the robber baron corporations who have worked their tentacles of corruption into our government. Both sides!

    This is a crime to humanity and absolutely should be outlawed.

    We will see more and more infertility as the generations grow.
    We must be so educated just to survive. This is only the beginning of the nightmare we are creating with chemicals for PROVIT!!
    When will we ever learn? We must get back to basics—-the land and simplicity of life.
    Technology separates us from our Source!!!

    Chemicals in our environment, chemicals in our food and water supply, chemicals injected into our bodies via vaccines, and chemicals taken recreationally or through prescription…all wreck havoc with nature. I agree that getting back to basics, having an understanding about what is wholesome, organic and holistic. I don’t recommend throwing out the baby with the bath water, but people have refused to take responsibility. There is no accountability for our actions. We look outward to authority instead of looking inward for the answers!

    Great way to make the world less populated. lower sperm count makes it harder for a woman to get preggers
