Earlier Puberty for Girls: Gender Bending Synthetic Estrogen is Likely Culprit
Earlier Puberty for Girls: Gender Bending Synthetic Estrogen is Likely Culprit
By Grant Lawrence
Girls are reaching puberty faster. Over several decades the phenomenon of earlier and earlier menarche has been causing great concern.
.….Girls in the United States are entering puberty at earlier ages than they have in the past, a new study reports.
More than 10 percent of white 7-year-old girls in the study, which was conducted in the mid-2000s, had reached a stage of breast development marking the start of puberty, compared to just 5 percent in a similar study conducted in the early 1990s.
Black and Hispanic girls continue to mature faster than white girls, on average. Nearly one-quarter of black girls and 15 percent of Hispanic girls had entered puberty by age 7, according to the new study, which appears in the journal Pediatrics…..(source: cnn)
So why the concern?
Well it has been noted that girls entering puberty earlier are subject to more disease as they grow older.
There is also great concern that the early menarche is caused by the gender bending chemicals found in various products. These chemicals are likely causing the fish, frogs, and other creatures to become hermaphrodites. It is also believed by many, including me, that the gender bending chemicals found in plastics and other products is leading to the trend of earlier and earlier puberty in girls.

…..The study suggested that environmental chemicals that mimic hormones might be involved in their findings.
“The possibility that the increasing use of certain plastics and insecticides that degrade into substances that have estrogen-related physiological effects on living things should be investigated in relation to the earlier onset of puberty,” the researchers said.
Specifically, those chemicals include DDE, a breakdown of the pesticide DDT, and compounds used to make plastics, including bisphenol A, or BPA, and phthalates.
In Puerto Rico for example, early breast development–even in children as young as 2–is an increasing problem. A study in the area found that 41 girls who developed early had higher phthalate levels in their blood than 35 girls who developed at a normal age.
Where are these chemicals found? Plastic wrap, plastic storage containers and toys contain phthalates that can outgas into your food and air. With toys, small children may put them in their mouths and ingest phthalates that way. However, personal care products, including nail polish, mascara, fragrances, shampoos and conditioners, lotions, hair growth formulations, antiperspirants, and sunscreen, are a large exposure source. Gum, candy and oral pharmaceuticals can also contain them…..(source: six wise.com)
The chemical industry has tried to develop marketing plans to offset the problem with BPA. So far it must be working. There is still no ban on this dangerous, gender bending chemical.
It appears as if BPA, for now, is just another dangerous environmental toxin creating havoc in the bodies of animals and children. That must be good enough for the merchants of death that seek profit at any cost.
But you might think that the government and elected politicians might take some care in protecting the people and the environment of America.
If you do, then you don’t know the way things actually work.
