Before 1990 puberty in girls of around 8 years old happened few and far between. It was very rare. But now days it is considered normal. There are many girls that are experiencing puberty at age 5 and 7 years of age! What is more alarming is that the amount of estrogen in these girls is linked to breast cancer. So, why is this happening?

Many hormones are no added to cows to produce more lactation to generate more product/profit; this hormone has been found fluently in dairy foods… do you feed your baby or child dairy? We all do.
Soy foods and soy infant formula, are loaded with estrogen. The formula alone is exactly like giving your baby 5 birth control pills a day which each have concentrated levels of estrogen.
Teflon, Bisphenol A: these are things that line soda cans, bottles, pots and pans etc.

So, the moral of this story is for mom’s to breast feed, use glass bottles and jars to store foods and don’t by processed foods, grow your own or buy locally grown foods that you trust. Do a little research about the food products you buy and show your children that they are worth the effort.

Great post, Manda, it is a scary world out there and these things are certainly a worry.

Our erstwhile politicians think too much of money matters and not much of anything else, unfortunately.

Do you have any statistics regarding early onset of puberty now compared to before 1990? Soy proteins have been used in infant formulas for almost a century and being a farm girl I can tell you, hormones have been given to cattle for a lot longer than the last 18 years. I'd love to know what the stats are and if other factors might be involved.

I know soy isn't the wonder food that people have made it out to be. It is one of the foods that can cause a huge number of allergies in children. It's right up there with peanuts.

Manda, I think the Bisphenol A is probably hugely at fault here. Experiments with Agouti mice show massive hormonal changes in babies born to mothers injected with BPA, stimulating early puberty as you say, and also causing a huge change in the way the body stores fat. In the mice it even changed their hair colour! That can't be good. Some critics say the amounts we absorb each day are miniscule but the mice researchers say they used proportionate amounts in the mice less than we'd take in, in an average day. And it's almost impossible to avoid! I switched to glass storage for food and tossed out the cling wrap about five years ago, but of course my pyrex dishes have plastic lids - I reckon I can cope with that because the food doesn't touch it. But the food comes out of packets, no matter how hard I try to avoid plastic - it's all around us. I guess all we can do until the regulators catch up, is try to minimise the damage. Not so easy to do, unfortunately. Thanks for a great post

Thanks everyone for commenting!

Katyzzz, too right!

Johnny, soy has a lot of phytoestrogens in it so that is a main concern there. My doctor gave me research and according to the paper right here in front of me the stats include 1999 which say roughly 50% of African Americans and 15% Caucasian Americans were reaching puberty at age 8/ In 1990 and before puberty this early was extremely rare. - For more info check out these links:

Good thinking Sandy! I think we could all take a lesson from you in that area.
