Urine luck: another gender bending herbicide showing up in Midwesterners

The blood-brain barrier is the network of blood vessels and tissue made up of closely spaced cells that helps keep harmful substances from reaching the brain. The herbicide dicamba (3,6-dichloro-2-methoxybenzoic acid) penetrates the blood-brain barrier as do other hormone disruptors like 2,4-D, DDT, atrazine, neonicotinoids, glyphosate, Metam Sodium/Potassium and Imazalil, a carcinogenic fungicide that can also affect gender identity especially in children and adolescents. 

But Republicans scream RIGHT TO LIFE for human blastocysts as environmental pollutants occur more frequently in the umbilical cord blood of infants and in baby poop then cry government overreach while Waters of the United States or WOTUS architects regroup pending a ruling in the Supreme Court of the United States and another round in Congress.
Bayer, a leading seller of dicamba technology, said the chemical has not been classified as a possible carcinogen according to the World Health Organization’s International Agency for Research on Cancer, and pointed to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s approval of the herbicide. A 2020 study from researchers within the National Institutes of Health, for example, found dicamba was associated with heightened risks of liver and bile duct cancer, with lags of up to 20 years.

Time to add plastic and pesticides to the food pyramid to accurately reflect the modern daily diet.

Ain't that the truth? BPA in baby food has already altered the genes in at least three generations.
