                           A TROUBLING STORY

 Without too much fanfare a reputable source tells us that children are arriving at puberty at a much younger age, about 9 or ten years old. Not too any years ago this happened at 12 or 14 or even older in some cases. What do you suppose has caused this ?

Many possibilities present themselves. For example, can we blame early exposure to salacious material at an early age ? We can blame TV for that. Maybe early sex education in school can contribute. The same reputable source says that 10% of children in the sixth grade have engaged in sexual activity. Does this not bother you ? It does me.

Has something changed in our eating habits ? Are the numerous inoculations having unintended consequences ? How about the fluoride in our water supply. We are constantly exposed to radio magnetic energy. Hmmm---

Our reputable source fails to tell us if this is a world wide phenomena or is it just us. Maybe it is only in the industrial world.

Can this be a cause of the pervasive promiscuity or perhaps the rising prevalence of homosexualiy ? With no evidence to prove it, I suspect it may be a contributing factor

Juft finished perusal of said authoritative article. Seems they think this *may* be the case, but there is sufficient question on prior assessments and the current methodologies that we should not take this as fact. Just an indication we should pay close attention is all.
So I think it is premature to look for culprits - and way too soon to let your phobia answer the question.

Has it not been touched upon that the modern diet is chock-full of hormones in meat and milk?

I think that must have some sort of effect on puberty. But good grief, NINE YEARS OLD?

That seems a bit much.
