Most Popular Weed Killer Turns Male Frogs Into Females

SJones writes "A recent study found that the most popular weedkiller in the United States turns male frogs into female frogs. The effects on humans has not been studied, but amphibians are considered particularly important in that they show effects before mammals. The story is here." I'm sure I'm not alone in being concerned about the fact that a lot of the chemicals used in agriculture today seem to disrupt hormonal balances in living things. Note: According to this Fox News article, the study appears to be junk science.
