Three foods can lead to precocious puberty in children
Excessive animal food
Due to the fresh memory of the food shortage era, parents often hope that their children can eat better now, especially their grandparents, for fear that their children may not eat well enough. Excessive intake of animal foods not only leads to obesity in children, but also often leads to excessive intake of additives in animal feed.

Meanwhile, with the aggravation of environmental pollution, pollutants may also enter the body of animals, and pollutants in the animal body are more likely to deposit in the bone marrow.

Out of season vegetables and fruits

Fresh lychees and other foods, due to their inherent presence of certain human estrogen like substances, excessive consumption may also cause premature puberty. Soybean products, due to their high levels of soy isoflavones, are also discouraged from consuming more.
