This herbicide may be feminizing our livestock, our crops, and even our boys.

From Who Is Robert Malone? Substack. Atrazine is one of the most commonly used herbicides in the world, and is often used to control weeds in commercial crops. It is also available on Amazon for home use.

Atrazine is applied to corn, soybean and sugarcane as well as on turf, such as golf courses and residential lawns.

Atrazine is an endocrine disrupter, which is able both demasculinize (chemically castrate) and completely feminize adult male frogs as well as other aquatic life. …

That endocrine disruptors found in this herbicide will make its way into puddles, ponds, lakes, streams, rivers and even ocean is well proven. That these herbicides are feminizing aquatic life is well proven. That is well established in the scientific literature. From a paper published in 2010,

Atrazine induces complete feminization and chemical castration in male African clawed frogs (Xenopus laevis)

Abstract: The herbicide atrazine is one of the most commonly applied pesticides in the world. As a result, atrazine is the most commonly detected pesticide contaminant of ground, surface, and drinking water. Atrazine is also a potent endocrine disruptor that is active at low, ecologically relevant concentrations. Previous studies showed that atrazine adversely affects amphibian larval development. The present study demonstrates the reproductive consequences of atrazine exposure in adult amphibians.

Atrazine-exposed males were both demasculinized (chemically castrated) and completely feminized as adults. Ten percent of the exposed genetic males developed into functional females that copulated with unexposed males and produced viable eggs. …

It is also true that even common foods which are endocrine disruptors can cause feminization in adult human males:

Such as documented in this case study:

Secondary Hypogonadism due to Excessive Ingestion of Isoflavone in a Man
Intern Med 2022 Oct 1;61(19):2899-2903. doi: 10.2169/internalmedicine.8578-21. Epub 2022 Feb 26.

Abstract: A 54-year-old man had been drinking approximately 1.2 L of soy milk (equivalent to approximately 310 mg of isoflavones) per day for the previous 3 years. He then developed erectile dysfunction and gynecomastia. On an examination in our department in May, blood tests showed low gonadotropin and testosterone levels, indicative of secondary hypogonadism. … Secondary hypogonadism caused by the excessive intake of isoflavones in soy milk was diagnosed. In men, an excessive intake of isoflavones may cause feminization and secondary hypogonadism.

Personally, I call into question the author’s conclusions above. Atrazine is used extensively on soybeans. The diagnosis of the author was that it was the isoflavones in soy milk that caused this man’s secondary hypogonadism. However, atrazine levels and other herbicides/pesticides weren’t considered or even mentioned in the paper. …

In the News

In an interview with Jordan Peterson and another interview with Joe Rogan over the weekend, Presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. specifically brought up the frog feminization study and the hypothesis that atrazine could have negative consequences on childhood development.

The fact is that the papers cited above (and below) support what RFK, Jr. stated. … That is that exposure to endocrine disruptors during in-uterine or childhood development could be impacting normal reproductive development.

This hypothesis is even found in peer reviewed literature. …

But what was the response of the Youtube fact-checkers? Whelp, no dangerous information allowed -even if correct! The Jordan Peterson interview was deleted from YouTube. …

“I mean, they’re swimming through a soup of toxic chemicals today, and many of those are endocrine disruptors. There’s atrazine throughout our water supply,” RFK Jr. said in the video posted in early June. “Atrazine, by the way, if you in a lab put atrazine in a tank full of frogs, it will chemically castrate and forcefully feminize every frog in there. And 10% of the frogs, the male frogs will turn into fully viable females able to produce viable eggs if it’s doing that to frogs. It could, there’s a lot of other evidence that it’s doing to human beings as well.” …

What’s a person to do?

Let me be very clear. It is critical that you actively seek out and buy organic grains and soybeans for your diet, and if you are using soy-based products try to find ones that are free of this agent. It isn’t a perfect solution, but it is a great place to start. …

Advice for healthy living:

• If you use a commercial lawn service that sprays conventional herbicides, please fire them.
• Buy organic produce.
• Buy grass fed meats (local if possible). Talk to the farmer about what sprays they use and how often.
• Buy organic eggs.
• Use “green” products when cleaning your house. Soap and water will take care of most cleaning needs.
• Buy organic grains, legumes and nuts. Think about investing in a bread maker or find a local bakery/grocery store that uses organic flours.
• Consider eating less simple carbs (sugar, flour, etc). Unfortunately, sugar cane is another crop where atrazine is used extensively.
• Be mindful about what you put in your body and of course, avoid ulta-processed foods!
• Finally, find out if atrazine is being used in your local community. Local parks, playgrounds, school grounds. Start by calling your parks service (city, county) and find out. Put together a white paper – send it to school superintendents, board of supervisors, etc. Then go speak to them! Our children should not be walking or playing on turf that has been sprayed with this toxic brew.
• We can impact our local communities more than we think!
