Any biologist here in /sci/?
What do you guys think of this? Primary citation from PNAS

It seems easy to make fun of the humble water filter salesman, but it seems like he's making a fairly decent compelling case that Atrazine is not good for you and can cause lower testosterone. Atrazine is a fairly common component of pesticide and present in US groundwater.

It converts testosterone to estrogen in frogs apparently
The author didn't really address effect of atrazine on humans

Seems like a legit site

>Reproductive Effects: Because atrazine disrupts hormones, it's not surprising that epidemiological studies find associations between exposure to the herbicide and reproductive effects including increased risk of miscarriage, reduced male fertility, low birth weight, increased chance of any birth defect, and higher incidence of abdominal defects;

There's a lot of examples in the US of contaminated water leading to sexual defects or problems in the reproductive ability of aquatic life. This isn't anything new, BPA is basically estrogen but people still drink from and buy products containing it. Alex Jones is nuts but this study is right.
