Abstract:

Chemists have demonstrated that a group of compounds called phyto-estrogens, found in a number of common plant species, produce in some animals the same infertile effects that the birth control pill produces in women. This discovery raises questions regarding the rate of plant extinction and implications for both humans and wildlife.
