Signs of Early Puberty in More Young Girls

A new study suggests that young girls are increasingly reaching puberty earlier — between 2004 and 2006 twice as many Caucasian girls showed breast maturity at age 7 as compared to 1997. The percentage of African-American girls showing the same early sign of puberty remained constant over the same time period.


The analysis, conducted by researchers collaborating in the multicenter Breast Cancer and the Environment Research Centers, adds to the growing evidence that the onset of puberty in girls may be shifting earlier and earlier, possibly due to obesity or exposure to environmental chemicals.

Ed,


Excellent post. I have had a chance to look into this a few years ago, seems Animals products like Milk, Meat and The rest are to be blamed to begin with. Since these are loaded with growth hormones to increase yearly profits, some of these noxious substances end up in us, in mothers and then transferred through breast milk. It does'nt mean breast feeding is bad. It's the best, but , if you're going to make any change, opt for Organic Dairy and Meats. it affects your pocket, but it saves the environment and keeps you from being vicitimised by the drug company.


On an other note, anything speeding up at an abnormal rate is not a good sign, it mirrors much with cancer cells.


yes, Ed you're right Environmental Toxins play a role too. From everything you put in your mouth, on your skin, in your house, and around your house.
