Thanks to BPA and other chemicals the new age of puberty for girls is 10

(NaturalNews) Girls as young as 7 years old are now beginning to develop breasts and undergo other body changes that their mothers had not experienced until years later. The prime culprit for this new phenomena is bisphenol A, better known as simply BPA.

Here is the other side of the story. Which one do we believe? This test was done with adults, maybe children metabolize BPA differently.

excerpt:
The study results indicate that the human body is extremely efficient at processing BPA from the body and is so effective that levels of free BPA are undetectable.

•Free BPA was below the limit of detection in all 320 blood samples analyzed by the CDC lab, even for samples with detectable total BPA. Based on their results, the authors note that high levels of BPA in blood reported in other studies are unlikely to be valid.
•Total BPA was detected in only 14% of the 320 blood samples, only one of which was above 1 part per billion (ppb). Total BPA was below the sensitive limit of detection (0.3 ppb) for 86% of the samples.

It's long been known (at least since '98,if not longer) that types of plastics contain xenoestrogens, phthalates that mimic estrogen and cause premature puberty and feminizing characterists in males plus cancers in both males and females males, abdominal obesity, etc. due to increased estrogen. Google the term xenoestrogens BPA.

The progressive, increased incidence of each of these conditions is easy to track.

It's smart to avoid what you can, especially for children and young adults.

In Canada BPA is considered to be a toxic substance and its use will eventually be banned.

This is not a new phenomenon as my daughter's girlfriends were developing breast and hair ten years ago.... some as early as 9.

In my day, it was 15-16.
