Puberty starts earlier than it used to *for girls*. Which surely points towards plastics and phytoestrogens in food as being the much more likely cause than improved nutrition or obesity which would affects both boys and girls equally.

How are you so confident about this maybe-correlation? It seems FUDish and overconfident without the data to back it up.

All we can say for now is that we don't really know why the average age is on the decline. There are a lot of variables.

We have known that certain plastics mimic estrogen in the body for well over 10 years now. BPA is banned for use in baby products in most western countries for this exact reason, but is still present in thermal receipts and the majority of food and drink cans.

Thanks for the clarification, Crabber.
