WorldNetDaily carried a fascinating story the other day about a two-year old study financed by the Environmental Protection Agency which found that fish and other aquatic life in Colorado streams were being “genetically re-engineered” by hormones flushed into Boulder sewer systems.

Scientists at the University of Colorado found that the hormones were having a tremendous impact on fish reproduction: When they randomly caught 123 trout in streams down river from the Bolder sewer plant, they were “scared” by their findings: 12 of the fish were male, 101 were female and 10 were “intersex” fish with both male and female features.

University of Colorado biologist John Woodling told the Denver Post during an interview that the appearance of such unnatural specimens, “is the first thing I’ve seen as a scientist that really scared me”. Their research found that the sexual anomalies were the result of heavy estrogen and other steroid hormones from birth control pills and patches that ultimately end up in the area waters after being excreted as urine into the city’s sewer system.

The article says that this kind of bizarre development can be found in waters across the United States. In fact, traces of birth control hormones were found in New Jersey’s drinking water as early as 2003.

And, yet, virtually no public outcry has been heard from the environmental activists who have wrecked such havoc on America’s economy.

Betty Ball of the Rocky Mountain Peace and Justice Center told WorldNetDaily that people should eat organic foods. But she wasn’t interested in a campaign to clean water of hormones, because such an effort “gets into the bedroom”.

It appears that even pollution can be categorized as “politically incorrect”.

In the meantime, one has to wonder about the health effects as this potentially serious problem is swept under the rug by Big Media and Planned Parenthood’s legions.
