There are also a few other potential contributing factors such as the increase in sex hormones in the environment as the hormones in the oral contraceptive pill don't breakdown properly and are still active even after being excreted by the body. Worrying stuff.

Its just that so many of the meat out there are full of injected hormones, to plump up the meat and i wondered whether that could be one catylist in our diets that helps cause earlier puberty. assalamu alikeum
