Are the frogs turning gay

Once Hayes heard about this he started collecting data. Ashley Ahearn reports on how these substances may be affecting human development and behavior. If you go to your kitchen sink and under your bathroom sink and look at the cleaning compounds that are there.

The blatant absurdity of this conspiracy theory makes it one of the most widely mocked and memed of Jones’ outbursts (though one study. They last longer. So, this is the equivalent of a man with a uterus. The claim was popularized by conspiracy theorist Alex Jones, who cited studies on the herbicide atrazine, known to induce spontaneous sex reversal or hermaphroditism in certain frog species, to assert that the U.S.

government was "putting chemicals in the water that turn the friggin’ frogs gay" as part of a "chemical warfare operation". Scientists are continuing to sound the alarm about some common chemicals, including the herbicide atrazine, and link them to changes in reproductive health and development.

He says in the womb, we all start out developing as girls. We use synthetic chemicals for everything from plastics to pesticides. And atrazine is not the only chemical to blame for causing widespread reproductive health problems. The cosmetics.

But on the inside it had large testis, so these are testis, and this is an oviduct. hey’re turning the frogs gay.” If you have ever watched a video by the internet’s premier conspiracy theorist, Infowars ’ Alex Jones, you will know that this is an undeniable fact.

AHEARN: The endocrine system is made up of a series of glands throughout the body that control the hormonal messages that direct development. Below the surface, fat greenish-yellow frogs swim around— their bulging eyes looking up at us through the water. Hayes says this might be one reason that populations of frogs and other amphibians all over the world are going down.

They eventually make their way from our farms, households or industry into the environment — and into our bodies. [1]. A study Kennedy discussed on multiple podcast episodes exposed male African clawed frogs to atrazine in a lab, castrating 75% of the male frogs and turning one in 10 males into females.

The toiletries. And there are consequences. Chemicals in the water are turning frogs gay One of Jones' most notorious conspiracy theories is that the government is using chemicals in order to turn people gay, using a mysterious "gay bomb.

He exposed some of his frogs to the same level of atrazine that the Environmental Protection Agency says is safe for drinking water, and he kept the rest of the frogs atrazine-free. And they may be affecting our reproductive health — indeed, even our sexual preferences.

Producer Ashley Ahearn reports. Recently, scientists with the U. Geological Survey found intersex fish in one third of the waterways they tested across the United States. Endocrine disrupting toxic chemicals have been found to feminize male frogs and cause homosexual behavior.

Let me say that again: the male frogs are having babies. Stephen Rosenthal, a pediatric endocrinologist at the University of California San Francisco, broke down some basic human developmental biology for me. Studies on rats, reptiles and even human cells exposed to atrazine showed similar results.

Chemicals in the water are turning the (frigging) frogs gay. Discover the real science behind Alex Jones’ gay frogs claim, Atrazine’s effects on frogs, and how to support true amphibian conservation. By imitating natural hormones— such as estrogen and androgen — endocrine disrupting chemicals prevent the body from sending and receiving those messages.

HAYES: So in this tank there are 40 brothers that are not exposed to atrazine and in this tank there are 40 brothers who were exposed to atrazine and so we can compare these two tubs and look at the number of homosexual pairs.
