Commonly used municipal water treatment technology doesn’t remove small molecules like hormones from the water. People taking hormones (say birth control for instance) piss it out and it goes into the water supply. There are also molecules that aren’t estrogen but your body treats it as the same as estrogen called xenoestrogens that are common from chemicals like pesticides. Farm runoff pushes the pollution into our rivers and into the water supply.
We blame pollution but only as a scapegoat.
Its chicken. Plain and simple. They stuff these guys so full of growth hormones, steroids, and everything else that an egg hatches and turns into a fully grown chicken in 28 days. That took 6 months just when I was a kid. That's how much its changed and how rapidly these chemicals are working. It isnt evolution or selective breeding. Its drugs.
If it's from an animal food source, it would be from beef or milk, not chicken. Hormones are allowed for cattle but not for poultry. Chickens grow faster today because of selective breeding, they have a much shorter life cycle than cows so they're much easier to manipulate. We're still having problems getting cows to eat corn and live.
Hormones also get broken down by heat, so even if it was in meat it wouldn't be after you cook it. Dairy cows also dont get hormones, its right there on every gallon of milk you buy. Its been illegal to give chickens growth hormones for a long time, which makes those advertisements on certain chicken brands laughable.
