UNBELIEVABLE
When I first read this information on Amap a few years ago, I wondered if it was a hoax.
Perhaps something from the fanciful Weekly World News (Researcher Calculates A Snowball's Chance in Hell to be .000000000134% !) [actual headline] or even the spoof paper The Onion.
.
It was just too bizarre, too shocking to be true. I have since learned that it is quite real. Also strange: why is nobody talking about this?
There are many who hold that this information is all rumor and legend. I feel I have found good enough sources, plus it suits my logic.

YES, CANADA TOO
The scientists, who say the findings could explain the recent excess of girl babies across much of the northern hemisphere, are widening their investigation across the most acutely affected communities in Russia, Greenland and Canada to try to discover the size of the imbalance in Inuit communities of the far north.
In the communities of Greenland and eastern Russia monitored so far, the ratio was found to be two girls to one boy. In one village in Greenland only girls have been born.
FLIP IN THE WOMB
The scientists measured the man-made chemicals in women's blood that mimic human hormones and concluded that they were CAPABLE OF TRIGGERING CHANGES IN THE SEX OF UNBORN CHILDREN IN THE FIRST THREE WEEKS OF GESTATION.
. funny but not funny
.
Lars-Otto Reierson, executive secretary for Amap, said: "We knew that the levels of man-made chemicals were accumulating in the food chain, and that seals, whales and particularly polar bears were getting a dose a million times higher than that existing in plankton, and that this could be toxic to humans who ate these higher animals. What was shocking was that they were also ABLE TO CHANGE THE SEX OF CHILDREN BEFORE BIRTH."
