"Herman-Giddens said she believes the changes relate to nutrition, estrogen triggers and
sexually charged media messages!!!"

"Why do girls start puberty so early?"
"Nutrition, environment may be triggers, researcher says"
--It's a fact that girls are developing sexually a lot faster than they used to.
Theories suggest environmental and dietary factors contribute to the accelerated changes, a women's
health forum heard last weekend.
Even the media may have something to do with it.
Dr. Marcia E. Herman-Giddens from the University of North Carolina presented her puberty research
discoveries to a group at the Women's Health Matters Forum and Expo. She did a study on 17,700
black and white girls, most between the age of eight and 13.
Girls used to enter puberty between the ages of 11 and 13, she said, but now they typically start
between eight and nine.
Theories about the cause
Although her research offered no proof as to the cause, Herman-Giddens said she believes the
changes relate to nutrition, estrogen triggers and sexually charged media messages.--
