I saw that on the news tonight, shocking, I didn't realize it was occurring that young. Obesity and I wonder about hormones in the food.

At 7 years, 10.4 percent of white, 23.4 percent of black and 14.9 percent of Hispanic girls had enough breast development to be considered at the onset of puberty.

At age 8, the figures were 18.3 percent in whites, 42.9 percent in blacks and 30.9 percent in Hispanics.

Some researchers also suspect that environmental chemicals that mimic the effects of estrogen may be speeding up the clock on puberty, but that idea is unproved.


I recall an article about a two year girl in Mexico who had a woman's body from eating processed chickens.
