Robert F. Kennedy: " Phthalates are an endocrine disruptor. Probably the most disturbing endocrine disruptor, and this is something we should all be looking at, is atrazine. They took atrazine and they put it in a tank with 40 frogs for three years. They put it below the exposure levels that EPA considers acceptable to humans."

"And 30 of those frogs, they were all male frogs. and they were double-Z male frogs, so they were super males. And 30 of those frogs were chemically castrated. Four of them turned into females and produced fertile eggs. So they took male frogs, gave them atrazine, 10 percent of them turned into female and produced fertile eggs."

"And we're subjecting our children to exposure to that every day. What does this do to sexual development in children? Nobody knows, we know what it does to frogs. Yeah. But nobody knows what that does to, what it's doing, those kind of persistent exposures would do to our children."
