[All] Atrazine: Shocking new data regarding Canadian water levels.

[Robert Milligan]

Thanks Lulu. I didn't know it was also used for soya.

I too have been very concerned about atrazine and its toxic effects  
such as endocrine disruption -- with at least the sex organ changes  
you described below, see http://docs.google.com/viewer?a=v&q=cache:_nfb1KO-jlQJ:www.pesticide.org/atrazine.pdf+atrazine+AND+insects&hl=en&gl=ca&pid=bl&srcid=ADGEESigNc98LcTGm_d-h4N7v4olgesVtzUaWTb6TLTT4j0uTo8zv1d7GoG7-MOExrc6A4FqYnFmiDKT-I6hTDt4ItOPXglAUMFkukKVD6YS3zM934DmTT2wQckYnZ610bLmNaMqBbeA&sig=AHIEtbRTQccuLyAyP7PI-vZfPURrLms8IAhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atrazine 
   http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2362696/.

Also I was just remarking to my wife how the insect populations --  
inside & outside -- seem decimated! Endocrine disrupting atrazine  
again? (not enough studies)

Is it in our drinking water (let's fond a trustworthy lab in US to  
test for us.
