Summary of Anthony G. Jay's Estrogeneration

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview: #1 I had never visited the campus, but I was excited to start college. I was especially out of place because I had never visited Minnesota, the land of 10,000 lakes and 100,000 fishermen.#2 I learned that water in Southern Florida is especially contaminated with birth control hormones. I also learned that reclaimed water is all around me in Florida, and that lawns use it.#3 The water issue is actually very simple. While living organisms like bacteria and parasites are successfully filtered out or killed by high chemical levels, the smallest molecules, especially the hormones, are not removed from drinking water.#4 Part 1: Indecent Exposures begins with a simple definition of the term estrogenic, and then lists the top 10 estrogenic substances found in our environment. Part 2: Rising Disease focuses on common elements that all estrogenic substances share, and how these elements can cause health problems.
