Estrogen is a carcinogen? I understand the idea you're trying to support (the same one seen in the article on the Pill) but that seems a little excessive. Citation or clarification is needed. In the meanwhile, because estrogen, by itself, does not cause cancer any more than testosterone or any other hormone, I will remove it from the list. NTemple 22.45 16 December 2008 (EST)
Also, only one particular nickel-containing compound has a correlation (which does not prove causation) with cancer. I'll remove that one too. NTemple
- Re: estrogen, better to say there is a scientific dispute. This is not Wikipedia: we acknowledge the existence of scientific controversy and scientific debates.
- The National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences labeled steroidal estrogen a "known carcinogen". [1]
- If you restore the link, maybe say 'disputed' after it? --Ed Poor Talk 22:52, 16 December 2008 (EST)
