The age of puberty is falling, and researchers are looking at more sedentary lifestyles and more exposure to toxins, to understand why.

this is a late comment. I agree with these studies, and think the plastic biproducts are also a factor in cancer, because they clog the body up to the extent the body can no longer clean itself out.

Add to this early puberty, ELECTRIC LIGHTS, over 25 years ago reader's digest ran an article showing that more exposure to light made menstral periods begin sooner. Norway girls began at 14 to 16, and italians (more sunlight) 12 to 14 in the 1800s. But by the 1960s this had leveled as norweigan girls were beginning menistration at 12 to14 or 2 years earlier. Plants grown under extra long hours of lights, fruit and flower earlier - than plants grown outside. The same holds true for humans and animals.
