Atrazine, main component- 2, 6-DNT continued.
i am somewhat intrigued with the mutagenic properties of this chemical and would like to see how widespread its effects are, and any other possible causation in the biological effects on mammalian species in particular.
Granted, this is not to be used as it can have cancerous effects on the body, this post, as the previous one, it meant to describe the environmental effects as well as the bioavailabilty. it may give credence to why more and more bio-males are having gender issues.
Atrazine does cross the blood-brain barriers and can effect the hypothalamus, it can also reprogram the hypothalamus to react in a non-cis manner. i apologize if this is a somewhat lengthy and mundane post, however, i feel it is necessary to record it.

The higher acidity and
the amount of organic matter dissolved in water, the higher
is the stability of Atrazine herbicide in the aquatic environ-
ment .
read the whole article, it also notes that there is no genotoxic results in humans, however some mutagenic effects have been noted at the chromozonal level and DNA damage in lymphocytes in humans.
it can also cause menstrual irregularities, low hormones in women :

This study explores the effect of ATZ treatment on the bioactivation of the promutagen, 2, 6-DNT. (more study to follow on this chemical).
similar to BHT , to note, this supplement may be endocrine disruptor:
Food additive[edit]
BHT is primarily used as an antioxidant food additive. In the United States, it is classified as generally recognized as safe (GRAS) based on a National Cancer Institute study from 1979 in rats and mice.[9] It is approved for use in the U.S. by the Food and Drug Administration: For example, 21 CFR § 137.350(a)(4) allows BHT up to 0.0033% by weight in "enriched rice", while 9 CFR § 381.147(f)(1) allows up to 0.01% in poultry "by fat content". It is permitted in the European Union under E321.[10] It is forbidden as food additive in Japan (since 1958), Romania, Sweden, and Australia.[citation needed] Since the 1970s, BHT has been steadily replaced with BHA.[citation needed] Some food companies have voluntarily eliminated BHT from their products.[citation needed] Others like General Mills and Kellogg's announced in February 2015, following a petition by Vani Hari, that they were going to phase it out.[
Antioxidant[edit]
BHT is also used as an antioxidant in products such as cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, rubber, electrical transformer oil (at 0.35%),[12] and embalming fluid. In the petroleum industry, where BHT is known as the fuel additive AO-29, it is used in hydraulic fluids, turbine and gear oils, and jet fuels.[13] BHT is also used to prevent peroxide formation in diethyl ether and other laboratory chemicals.[14]
Some additive products contain BHT as their primary ingredient, while others contain the chemical merely as a component of their formulation, sometimes alongside butylated hydroxyanisole (BHA).[citation needed]
Health effects[edit]
Debate surrounds the link of BHT to cancer risk, asthma and behavioral issues in children;[15] some studies show a potential to increase and some showing a decreased risk.[16][17][18] There is in vitro indication for endocrine disruption with effect on the testes and thyroid.[19] Because of this uncertainty the consumer group Center for Science in the Public Interest recommend to avoid BHT and puts BHT in its "caution" column.[20] The National Cancer Institute determined in 1979 that it was noncarcinogenic in a mouse model.[9]
BHT is marketed as a health food supplement in capsule form. It has been reported to have anti-viral effects, particularly in use against herpes family viruses, sometimes in combination with L-lysine and vitamin C.[21][22][23][24][25][26][27] This latter use has made it into some of the more popular literature.[28][29][30]
Closely related phenol antioxidants exhibit low toxicity. For example, the LD50 of 2,6-di-tert-butylphenol is greater than 9 g/kg
So, its in our foods, its in our waters..its sold as an antioxidant supplement.. quick search on amazon shows it is readily available as a supplement..it is everywhere!
