A study out of the University of Helsinki claims evolution is causing women to become more attractive

sorry, but im callin this article a hoax of bullshit
look into "endocrine disruption"...or just google "xenoestrogens"
..and you'll find a boatload of information that's NEVER discussed in popular media.
In humans, females are the default sex...if it weren't for exposure to tdf (a protein called testis determining factor)...and a host of other androgens early in the womb, a fetus will develop into a female.
these days, environmental toxins which interfere with the endocrine system, have been found to be feminizing nature across the board. Feminized male fish, frogs, and aligators, for example, have been found all across the nation...many of them producing female eggs in their testicles, and unable to reproduce
(is there any reason why there are so many fertility drugs/clinics popping up everywhere??)
these "xenoestrogens"...xeno="foreign"...are found everywhere from non-organic foods (not just meats but foods containing pesticide residues, such as apples with atrazine or endosulfame sprayed on them. this also contaminates ground/drinking water and other species too.
these toxins are also found in commercial soaps, shampoos, deodorants, toothpastes, dryer sheets, paints, hair sprays and many other beauty accessories, air fresheners, etc etc etc the list goes on
just think about how a chemical pesticide is designed to work- it literally chemically-castrates insects, many of them vertebrates, by interefering with the endocrine and nervous systems, so that they can't reproduce/multiply and wreak havoc on the crop. Well the problem with this is that WE'RE vertebrates too, and our nervous and endocrine systems work the same way. Furthermore, almost all of these compounds are lipophillic, and bioaccumulate in fat tissue (our brains and primary reproductive organs, testes and ovaries, are all made from fats...)
so as puberty hits the young ladies earlier due to this phenomenon, the males seem to be going through the opposite- delayed puberty, due to environmental chemicals that interefere with the synthesis, release, transport, binding, activation, storage and elimination of endogenous androgens (male sex hormones)
what's to be learned from this?
eat organic and use organic products
