Is a pregnant woman's chance of giving birth to a boy 50 percent? - Scientific American (http://www.scientificamerican.com/article/is-a-pregnant-womans-chan/)

"Workers producing 1,2-dibromo-3-chloropropane (DBCP), a chemical used to kill worms in agriculture, experienced even larger decreases in the number of male babies they welcomed into the world. Effects of DBCP on sperm quality were discovered incidentally when male workers found that they were unable to father children. After the exposure ended, male workers experienced some recovery of sperm quality and 36 children were born to 44 workers. Of these 36 children only 10 were boys"

Interesting. This seems to cooborate the idea that reduced sperm quality/fertility sways pink? Thoughts?

Interesting. Makes sense, everything we do to sway pink lowers fertility. Good read.

thanks for sharing! there are tons of things like this and the interesting thing is that they are all unrelated (like riding a bike DBCP exposure) and that's what makes me draw the conclusion that sperm numbers/quality must be swaying somehow
