Mitchel, I've seen a number of such studies in recent years, I'm sure
they have not mostly been withdrawn or even challenged.  The most widely
used herbicide, glyphosate, is well known to be an endocrine disruptor
at below the toxic concentration.  I attach a study recommended to me
by a colleague in the field, as (1) quite recent and (2) giving plenty
of citations of other studies.  Notice that they found that the mixture
on the market is a much stronger endocrine disruptor than pure glyphosate!
This is blamed on tallow amines, considered an inert ingredient, but not
apparently inert to us.  I don't know anything about tallow amines, but
I have seen them mentioned as a danger to health by several authors.
