Estrogen levels skyrocket in river around Montreal: researchers


www.cbc.ca
"What we measured is about 100 times more than the level known to have significant endocrine-disrupting effects," said Sébastien Sauvé, a professor of environmental chemistry at the university."

"Meanwhile, other researchers studying a common species of minnow downstream from Montreal are finding ovaries in the testes of one-third of the males."

As far as i remember main methabolite exreated in urine is Estriol. And it is bio active. Liver is not getting rid of all - since estriol is given as an oral drug.Now 100 times more then active (? not sure what really was meant as reference in the article) dose - it is definetly potential for worries.
Will be glad to be corrected.

"The pill" isn't just a plain old estrogen molecule, it wouldn't make the first pass through the liver. There will be a methyl or acyl group attached to allow it to make a 2nd pass. Things like 17a-ethinylestradiol 3-methyl ether and 17alpha-hydroxyprogesterones.

Once it loses the added group, it wouldn't matter if you ingested pure estrogen, although I wouldn't recommend trying You would need much more than could be suspended in water.
