David Margel and Neil Fleshner at the University of Toronto in Ontario, Canada, looked at levels of prostate cancer and contraceptive pill usage in 88 countries around the world. In every case, there was a significant correlation between the two. <snip> The pair favours a different hypothesis. They think that the oestrogen-like chemicals which are by-products of metabolism of the pill pass into the urine and ultimately make their way into the water supply.

It actually is a bit more than just possible. Not sayin that it's true.... but it's possible...... no matter what it's bizarre Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The same with western men who regularly drink soy milk even as a kid. The results should be the same if estrogen in birth control pills are to blame.
