Medium diameter wool iacludes sheep breeds of English origin, eg, southdown, hampshire, dorset, and cheviot, as well as crossbreds, eg, Columbia, targhee, corriedale, and polwarth, from interbreeding with merinos.

Later it was found growing in South America where the Indians used the red dye from the seeds as a body paint. An extract of the seeds appears on the market as annatto. This extract is used in coloring butter, margarine, and cheese such as Leicester cheese. In Mexican and South American cuisine, it finds special use as a flavor and coloring matter. The seeds are sold under the name achiote in many Latin grocery stores and markets. Ann at o is available as an aqueous solution, as an oleaginous dispersion, and a spray-dried powder.

Several recent expert reviews and workshops have discussed the effects of endocrine disruption on wildlife and especially invertebrate species. These include the EU workshop on the impact of endocrine disrupters on human health and wildlife (Weybridge, 1996), the lEH workshop (Leicester, May 1997), the Environment Agency Consultative report (January 1998) and the Tyndall Forum at the Royal Institution (February 1998). They have concluded that endocrine disruption may have far-reaching adverse consequences for biodiversity and the sustainability of natural ecosystems. More comprehensive bioassay systems are required to identify and assess chemicals alleged to produce endocrine modulating effects.
