Changes needed in leader?

In the leader it reads "Clofibric acid is ... a naturally-ocurring pharmaceutical compound," but the linked reference does not say anything about its progeny, only about its breakdown in the environment compared to other manmade compounds. It seems unlikely that this compound is naturally occurring because it has not been found or even theorized to be made by any organism other than man; chlorinated organic compounds of this type are relatively rare; and it is already known to be synthesized and released into the environment by man. I think this info should be removed from the leader unless someone can find a better source for it, because it is very misleading if untrue. morsontologica (talk) 23:46, 24 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
