Girls are hitting puberty earlier and earlier, the average is no 10 years old, whereas it was 15 last century, and significant percents (differs by race though) are hitting it at 7.
Its true with boys to some extent as well according to studies. So at lease for boys/men, there is early onset of hormone production but an overall decrease in the hormone production.

- throwaway_tech 7y agoIf I had to guess...I think he is suggesting the added hormones in food (dairy/milk specifically) have a link to early onset of puberty. It is my understanding both the hormones and antibiotics given to livestock do it fact have impact on the people that consume them.
- aldoushuxley001 7y agoVery interesting, thanks for sharing
- learnstats2 7y agoThat's not equivalent - indeed, it's not research. Who has measured girls' hormones over time?
