A scientific whistleblower

Dr. Tyrone Hayes has spoken out about the danger of atrazine as an endocrine disruptor that demasculinizes and feminizes male frogs.

Research

In 2007, Hayes was a co-author on a paper that detailed atrazine inducing mammary and prostate cancer in laboratory rodents and highlighted atrazine as a potential cause of reproductive cancers in humans. At a presentation to the U.S. National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences in 2007, Hayes presented results of his studies that showed chemical castration in frogs; individuals of both sexes had developed bisexual reproductive organs.[1]
