More cases of early puberty among girls being reported

Many girls, some as young as 7-years-old, are going through early puberty.

The phenomenon when puberty occurs at an unusually early age is known as precocious puberty.

Health officials have noticed more cases in recent years, and health expert Lorna Vanderhaeghe says it could be a sign hormones in children are too high.

She adds this can be attributed to the products we use and the foods we eat.

“We know that soy is highly estrogenic, they did a new study in women where they had them drink an 8 oz glass of soy milk and then tested their estradiol levels and discovered they went up 380 per cent,” Vanderhaeghe said.

“So avoid soy foods for kids.”

Vanderhaeghe adds that you should take a look at what items you are using in your home.

“Look at things that you’re using like cosmetics, shampoos, conditioners, creams… All of those things, if they contain parabens or phthalates they are highly estrogenic as well,” Vanderhaeghe said.
