Davis suggests that environmental factors may be one explanation for the shrinking male birth rate. "The pattern of decline in the ratio of male to female births remains largely unexplained," she explained. "We know that men who work with some solvents, metals and pesticides father fewer baby boys. We also know that nutritional factors, physical health and chemical exposures of pregnant women affect their ability to have children and the health of their offspring. We suspect that some combination of these factors, along with older age of parents, may account for decreasing male births."

I'm afraid it's more that that folks. Communities across this nation are spreading sludge (the solids from sewage) on farm fields and watering crops with treated wastewater. Additionally treated wastewater is used for what is called Artificial Water Recharge - it's blended with streams, rivers and lakes. Contained in this treated waste are all of the prescription drugs we humans consume including artificial estrogen (the same estrogen in this weeks news said to be responsigle for breast cancer). This estrogen (a female hormone) causes men to produce fewer and less virulent sperm. It's no secret. Google "artificial water recharge" and include your city in the search. Then Google "Baylor University fish mutations". You'll find that estrogen not only causes cancer but is also causing male fish to mutate into females with eggs!
