Original Note:
Atrazine does affect amphibian sexual development in specific ways, but the claims have been significantly misrepresented: https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC1874169/ While atrazine can cause hormonal changes in frogs at levels as low as 0.1 PPB, this doesn't translate to “turning animals gay”: https://news.berkeley.edu/2010/03/01/frogs/ Agreement: https://edition.cnn.com/2023/07/13/politics/robert-kennedy-jr-chemicals-water-children-frogs/index.html https://www.vice.com/en/article/a-quick-refresher-the-truth-about-water-making-you-gay/ Bias: https://mediabiasfactcheck.com/npr-news-natural-news/ https://www.naturalnews.com/2023-07-19-tucker-carlson-chemicals-water-animals-gay.html
