Very interesting and informative--as far as it goes. Unfortunately carcinogens are not the only problem. I did not see hormone disruptors such as BPA or pharmaceuticals on any list. Three of the most prevalent and effective pollutants are birth control pills, viagra, and prozac. Of course, I might have missed them.
