In June 2009, the Endocrine Society released a Scientific Statement, which presents evidence that endocrine disruptors affect male and female reproduction, breast development and cancer, prostate cancer, neuroendocrinology, the thyroid, metabolism, obesity, and cardiovascular endocrinology and has been featured in national media.

New York Times Op-Ed Columnist Nicholas Kristof described how endocrine disruptors in water are causing genital malformations in male animals and humans on the Colbert Report.
