Hormones and endocrine-disrupting chemicals: Low-dose effects and nonmonotonic dose responses
Laura N. Vandenberg,Theo Colborn,Tyrone B. Hayes,Jerrold J. Heindel,David R. Jacobs,Duk Hee Lee,Toshi Shioda,Ana M. Soto,Wade V. Welshons,R. Thomas Zoeller,John Peterson Myers +10 more
TL;DR: It is concluded that when nonmonotonic dose-response curves occur, the effects of low doses cannot be predicted by the effects observed at high doses, and fundamental changes in chemical testing and safety determination are needed to protect human health.
Book
Our Stolen Future
TL;DR: The cause of disruptions in animal breeding cycles, accompanied by increases in birth defects, sexual abnormalities and reproductive failure, is traced to the pervasive presence in the environment of chemicals that mimic hormones and trick the reproductive system.

Concerns over use of glyphosate-based herbicides and risks associated with exposures: a consensus statement
John Peterson Myers,Michael Antoniou,Bruce Blumberg,Lynn Carroll,Theo Colborn,Lorne G. Everett,Michael Hansen,Philip J. Landrigan,Bruce P. Lanphear,Robin Mesnage,Laura N. Vandenberg,Frederick S. vom Saal,Wade V. Welshons,Charles Benbrook +13 more
TL;DR: GBHs are the most heavily applied herbicide in the world and usage continues to rise; Worldwide, GBHs often contaminate drinking water sources, precipitation, and air, especially in agricultural regions and regulatory estimates of tolerable daily intakes for glyphosate in the United States and European Union are based on outdated science.
