Atrazine, one of the world's most widely used pesticides, wreaks havoc with the sex lives of adult male frogs, emasculating three-quarters of them and turning one in 10 into females, according to a new study by University of California, Berkeley, biologists.

Dear Arthur,
No wonder why I can hit the high notes again. I have been eating too much chemically enhanced corn and sorghum. |

Maybe time not to eat frog legs as a new food!
Actually the medicines we toss away and go thru our bodies is also polluting our own water supply too. |

Dear Arthur,
My son, the learning biologist, says that some frog species do change their sex naturally. As to why, I was asked probing questions in Biology class. |
