Recently, a list of children's fasting habits has been circulating crazily on the internet. It is rumored that these foods and supplies can lead to precocious puberty in children.

Recently, a fast list involving protein powder, honey, bird's nest, DHA and other products has been circulating on Weibo, WeChat, and some parenting websites. Many parents of infants and young children have forwarded and reminded others not to give their children these foods. In their opinion, these foods and supplies can lead to precocious puberty in children.

This quietly popular list of fast foods is written on a paper similar to a medical record. The reporter saw that the prohibited foods listed on this paper mainly include more than ten types, such as protein powder, honey, bird's nest, colostrum, and various vitamins. In addition, there are also prohibited products written on the paper, such as aloe vera skincare products.

Through multiple sources of information, the reporter found that this list of children's fasting restrictions comes from Dr. Chen from the Endocrinology Department of the Capital Institute of Pediatrics. Dr. Chen stated in an interview with relevant media that the list is mainly based on his own clinical experience and is not clear about the ingredients in the aforementioned foods, nor has he undergone specialized testing. But after some patients with precocious puberty stopped using these things, the follow-up symptoms disappeared, thus the conclusion was drawn.

After seeing this list on WeChat Moments, Mr. He, a citizen, forwarded it several times. He said, "The doctor's order shouldn't be a big problem. Now that my daughter is just over a year old, I still need to pay attention in the future." Ms. Li, a citizen, is worried when she sees this list.

Wu Xueyan, the chief physician of the Endocrine Department at Beijing Union Medical College Hospital, stated that this prohibited list has some rationality, but it mainly targets children with precocious puberty. For healthy children, some of the foods on the list need to be banned, and some foods should be restricted for consumption. At present, there is no professional testing result for the foods and supplies listed on the list, and it cannot be determined that these products must contain hormone components. Unreasonable diet is one of the reasons for premature puberty in children, but it cannot be said that eating a certain food will lead to premature puberty.
