The #1 Reason Humans Are Suddenly being Born Genderless | Dr. Shanna Swan

Shanna Swan, Ph.D., is one of the world’s leading environmental and reproductive epidemiologists and a professor of environmental medicine and public health at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai in New York City. An award-winning scientist, her work examines the impact of environmental exposures, including chemicals such as phthalates and Bisphenol A, on men’s and women’s reproductive health and the neurodevelopment of children.

As an environmental scientist I have known about this for decades. But so many people dismiss us as crackpots and won't listen to us.

In the U.S., 1 out of 37 children are now born with Autism. In the last 20 years babies born with birth defects has doubled. Gender Dysphoria rates are staggering.
Factory farmed livestock are given synthetic estrogens in their feed such as "Revular", used to make the animals gain weight faster, these synthetic estrogens are ending up in the waterways, the animal waste is also used as fertilizer along with human biowaste from treatment plants for food crops.
The majority of contamination areas are in the agricultural beltway, including Ohio, Michigan, Missouri. These states correlate with the biggest rise of birth defects, Autism and Gender Dysphoria.

The "corn" that is added to animal feed is the byproduct from ethanol refining and corn oil refining and the
Rapeseed from canola oil refining, same with soy, all of which are also GMO'S.
Seed oils, corn, canola, vegetable and (palm oil), are extracted using the endocrine disruptor and toxin, Hexane.
PFAS, Phthalates are in nearly humans blood and breast milk.
Endocrine Disrupting chemicals have been associated with Gender Dysphoria and Autism, Autoimmune diseases, low testosterone, birth defects, and low fertility rates. There are also related to mental health conditions.
All of the synthetic petroleum based bioengineered chemicals are toxins that are recycled by the liver back into the blood stream and stored in the bones. These are forever chemicals that are accumulative in both human and animal bodies.
These chemicals are in municipal tap water, meat, dairy and every processed food.
Flouride as hydrofluorosilic and hexafluorosilic acid, which are byproducts from the phosphate fertilizer and aluminum manufacturing industries are added to treat municipal water as cheap substitutes for sodium flouride, and are also used in the manufacturing of pesticides and fungicides.
90% of chronic illness and all autoimmune diseases are related to toxic processed chemical laden food.

What to do:
Distill your own water
Buy grass fed organic, pasture raised meats and dairy.
Grow your own veggies or buy local, small farm organics.
Eliminate through diet and exercise the need for bioengineered petroleum based synthetic chemical pharmaceuticals that are used by the medical industry to treat symptoms of these same chemicals.

It is cheaper to buy high quality foods than to buy or use pharmaceuticals.
The quality of your life depends on what you put into and on your body.

This woman is the real deal! I am so glad she decided to go for the book. I am a scientist, but in another field and would never have become aware of her research without this interview.

In Europe, where glyphosates have been banned, tourists from the States remark on feeling healthier during visits as short as two weeks. Upon returning home, their symptoms return. Visitors to the U.S. conversely report feeling ill after eating our food.

Thank you for bringing attention to these issues! I've been an organic gardener for decades and have gradually removed a great deal of chemicals from my home including cleaning products, plastic wares, personal care products and foods. We're not perfect and it's a huge challenge to tackle all the things that expose is to chemicals. I've saved a lot of money on cleaning products and personal care products but spend a little more on makeup and food. Growing some food and having chickens for eggs helps too. All you need for cleaning is baking soda, castile soap, peroxide, borax, lemon juice, vinegar....simple things do an amazing job at cleaning.

I'm a former nurse who starting sounding this alarm 20+ years ago. Lost all my family and friends. But now this truth is coming out. Thank you for your part.

[crashcratershimmer]

I’m trans, and i’m not offended by Dr. Swan’s hypothesis. It’s an empirical question about the possible biological causes of gender dysphoria. I’m as curious about the answer as anyone. 
In fact, I think if gender dysphoria was found to be a physiological disorder of sexual development, in a similar class to conditions which would cause someone to be born with ambiguous genitalia, that could increase the general public’s tolerance and sympathy for trans people. 
Of course, there may be different types of gender dysphoria with different causes, just like migraines. Finding out about the underlying cause of at least one type may inform potential treatment options. That’s not a bad thing.

[tcatt]

We all need to be paying more attention to what is said here and where the science is taking us. We need more people working in this field of research.

[lynnmiller]

I was in spain recently. Fresh food. No gmos. Glass bottles mosty. Few cans. Only plastics imported from USA. Huge recyle and trash cleanup in cities. Clean

[mysticwellreiki]

Reminds me of the book Silent Spring (published 60 years ago), by Rachel Carson. She talked about how pesticides were in the food and making animals and children sick.

[afftongrown]

My daughter in law had a problem getting pregnant and needed professional help in becoming so. The real shock was when she revealed most of her friends also had to have medical help in becoming pregnant. What are they doing to change the female body? Nefarious!

[ATB]

This woman is incredible. A REAL scientist. Thank you for having her on your podcast.

[LittleOrla]

Atrazine in our water. It's a known hormone disrupter. These young people have hormone imbalances and dysmorphia. Monsanto and the EPA know and now you do too. Compassion is needed and transparency. Thank you for speaking on this very difficult subject.

[Gocampbellriver]

Silent Spring by Rachel Carson written in the1960's predicted all this, not with plastics but with pesticides and herbicides. Everything she predicted has come to pass including dramatic increases in cancers and declining ages in cancer victims. Rachel had a PHD in biology and extensively studied how unilateral use of chemicals would affect the human population. Silent Spring by Rachel Carson. Keep it up, your on the right track.

[samgoodwin]

All those billions and trillions of dollars and yet we don’t regularly study these kinds of things? Insanely corrupt world we live in

[DominusTecum]

This would is really crazy when you realize alex jones wasn't lying about chemicals making frogs gay 😂😂

[fionamainey]

This is facinating and I just shared with my husband that my lacking in spatial intelligence is correlated with testosterone. Also wanted to mention, I am a city girl and my husband a country boy from a farm. In our early life together in early 1990's being gay was not widely accepted and people still debated whether it was a choice or not. I was shocked when my husband admitted that sometime his father ended up with a gay bull. They wanted to only mate with the other bulls so they were not useful when it came to impregnating their cows which was the goal to increase herd size. This fact alone told me it was not a choice.

[sophieestie]

It’s so true and terrible. As a therapist I keep saying these things over and over again. Saw lots of children with birth failures the last couple of decades. Good food and consciousness in life is needed to change our environment and our offspring.

Danny, You were so gracious and respectful. You had done your homework. Most interviewers would have been overwhelmed by such an incredible intellect. Your kids are fortunate to have a father who treats atypical women so well. Thanks for being you and for doing such important work.
