A 65-year beekeeper friend of mine just got the news he's got 

prostate cancer.  [The stats on prostate cancer are scary.]  He can't 

be sure it was caused by pesticide residues but pesticides even in 

small amount do affect the hormonal balance which important for 

proper prostate function.





The commonly-accepted view of prostate cancer prevalence is that if a man lives long enough he'll get it, but probably won't die of it; it develops slowly and other things will kill him first.  Lots of us are living happily with prostate cancer, secure in the belief that we'll be dead before it does us in.



No big deal.  It's nearly universal in old men; not something new to blame on pesticides.  Just age.
