We're in the middle of publishing about six long-term studies. HAYES: We're not focusing so much on other species right now. RAZ: So, now where do you go from here? I mean, what additional work will you be doing looking into the effect of this, or possible effect of this herbicide on other species? The European economy did not collapse in the absence of Atrazine, and they're still growing corn. HAYES: Well, Atrazine has been banned in Europe, and studies have been done, both in corn production in Europe and on their economy. are worried about these kinds of studies because they believe they are unfairly alarmist and that it could lead to a ban on this herbicide here, which would then have a serious impact on the agriculture industry. RAZ: Syngenta also says that farmers in the U.S. So I think what you're hearing from Tim Pastoor, as they say, the money talking, not the science. HAYES: If the issue was resolved by the EPA, then the EPA wouldn't be holding three scientific advisory panels this year to review Atrazine. He said the whole issue was resolved by the EPA back in 2006, when it determined that Atrazine was perfectly safe. RAZ: Which is the company that makes Atrazine. And that study concluded that women whose well water was contaminated with Atrazine were more likely to develop breast cancer, and the link appeared to be to Atrazine. HAYES: Well, there's at least one study that was conducted in Kentucky, and that was a fairly large study. Is there any sense that Atrazine does affect humans? RAZ: Now, there have been attempts to link Atrazine, this herbicide, to increased rates of breast cancer in people, none of which have been proven, I understand.
They didn't mate with females, chemically castrated. So we exposed frogs starting from the tadpole stage all the way out to three years, and what we found was that first of all, about 10 percent of the animals turned completely into females that were capable of laying eggs or reproducing with unexposed males, and the males that didn't turn into females, those were chemically castrated. HAYES: Well, in part, we're still working on that, but what we believe now is that Atrazine turns on an enzyme called aromatase, and this enzyme is the machinery, if you will, that converts testosterone into estrogen. RAZ: How does Atrazine work? I mean, how does this chemical turn a male frog into a female? TYRONE HAYES (Biology, University of California Berkeley): Thank you.
Tyrone Hayes led that study on Atrazine and frogs at U.C. But now, the agency has decided to take another look. Here in the U.S., though, the EPA gave Atrazine the all-clear in 2006.
It's been banned in Europe because of its suspected links to other abnormalities in amphibians. A group of biologists has just published a study that says the chemical Atrazine can actually turn a male frog into an egg-laying female.Ītrazine is one of the most widely used herbicides in the United States. RAZ: The story might be Hollywood fantasy to humans, but to frogs, well, that's a different matter.

#THEY RE TURNING THE FROGS GAY MOVIE#
And (unintelligible) that movie could be summarized in one short sentence. Multiple families have joined the lawsuit against Jones for defamation, and it continues to be litigated to this day.The film was called "Junior," and her leading man was Arnold Schwarzenegger. A Florida woman was even arrested for failing to appear in court after sending numerous threats to a father of one of the victims. The host defended his theories by saying he had spoken with investigators and state police involved with the event and there was just no way it actually happened.Īlex Jones’ Final Statement on #SandyHook – Media attempting to demonize #Infowars for questioning known liarsĪfter this theory began to gain momentum, the families who were mourning the loss of their children began to receive death threats and nasty letters from his listeners demanding to uncover the truth. He has stated in his talk show that he has watched hours of footage circulating the event, and the shooting appears to be only a drill turned into a catastrophic event to push gun control. Jones believed that the shooting was a hoax created by the government to expose the dangers of gun use. Using his INFOWARS platform, the theorist was able to push his conspiracy to the masses, backing it up with what he believed to be sound evidence.
