I'm looking only at the mechanics of the process described in the quotation.
AFAIK the pill is something women take and prostate cancer is something that afflicts men. Am I reading the assertion correctly that enough urine from pill takers gets into the food chain to affect the male population??? Why do medical professionals bother with gloves and masks?
