An article in L'Osservatore Romano claims there is substantial evidence available to show that the environment is being flooded with synthetic female hormones because of widespread use of oral contraceptives and the morning-after pill, resulting in a 'devastating' increase in male infertility with increasing numbers of couples struggling to conceive. Experts in Italy have dismissed the claims and say the hormones such as estrogen, which are contained in the contraceptive Pill, "are present everywhere... in plastic, in disinfectants and in meat that we eat." Researchers say once metabolised the hormones contained in oral contraceptives no longer have any of the characteristic effects of female hormones. News Medical
