Guest guest Posted January 21, 2010 Report Share Posted January 21, 2010 nah... Soy has been a backbone of asian doets for thousands of years. my guess its more due to low weight gain early in life. if you are underweight early in life, then you hit puberty earlier. lhundrup108 Jan 20, 2010 5:10 PM soy, was Re: Greetings I have heard recently a medical report that girls in china undergo puberty at an extremely early age.

Two, the only reports of early puberty I've " heard of " were from places where there was high intake of dead hormone-laced chickens.

Guest guest Posted January 21, 2010 Report Share Posted January 21, 2010 Given that's all my mom cooks and I started puberty at seven that makes plenty of sense.I ate next to no soy.

Guest guest Posted January 21, 2010 Report Share Posted January 21, 2010 This one comes up from time to time, and basically is completely untrue. As far as hormone health is concerned, tofu is good for you.
