I've been noticing girls developing younger and younger for the past 10 years. I've discussed it with many people who have noticed the same. Not scientific by any means. But obvious. You wait until the scientist tell you what is happening and what to do. I don't need scientist to tell me what to do. I stopped eating meat with growth hormones and stopped drinking water with flouride long ago.
Go ahead drink the flouride flavored kool aid all you want

My point exactly. You wait for conclusions from scientist to tell you that unatural things like growth hormones in our food is bad. And if they finally tell you it is you will have waited ... twenty or thirty years?
So you say dig lots of holes just in case??
One day we will all have a wrist band which tells us exactly what to eat and when to maintain our health, until then there is pretty much nothing you can do to ensure your longevity other than using scientific reports.
Tell me oh wise one. What are the known adverse side effects of fluoride consumption? Oh I forgot you don't "do" factual analysis.

Ridiculous analogy
I recommend taking personal responsibility for your health and using your common sense rather than waiting on someone to invent wrist bands or for the food industry to actually care about you. Who but you is going to care more about your health?

If we were to believe everything we are told including what our own brain tells us we would be on a diet of beer and cigarettes...
At least that way we would know how we were killing ourselves.

I agree.
I thought the whole fluoride thing was supposed to supress the pineal gland or something.
Early puberty...I will go out on a limb and say its the meat first.
(italics/bold mine)
...The pineal gland produces melatonin, which helps maintain circadian rhythm and regulate reproductive hormones.
...The pineal gland often appears calcified in x-rays, which is usually due to fluoride, calcium, and phosphorus deposits that build up with age.

One word:
SOY!!!!!!!!!!!
Its all the estrogenic foods these girls eat. People blame it on meat but the hormones in meat are minuscule compared to soy.
No, plant derived estrogens are not processed in the same way as those produced within the body.
en.wikipedia.org...
If Soy is the culprit then Asians shouldn't exist. Their diet is heavy on the Soy. They are not sterile and puberty doesn't seem to be coming on early over in that part of the world.
Soybeans and processed soy foods are among the richest foods in total phytoestrogens (wet basis per 100g), which are present primarily in the form of the isoflavones daidzein and genistein.
Because most naturally occurring estrogenic substances show weak activity, normal consumption of foods that contain these phytoestrogens should not provide sufficient amounts to elicit a physiological response in humans.
A 2001 literature review suggested that women with current or past breast cancer should be aware of the risks of potential tumor growth when taking soy products, based on the effect of phytoestrogens to promote breast cancer cell growth in animals.
A high consumption of omega-6 polyunsaturated fatty acids, which are found in most types of vegetable oil including soybean oil, may increase the likelihood that postmenopausal women will develop breast cancer.
In 2008, an epidemiological study of 719 Indonesian elderly found that tofu intake was associated with worse memory, but tempeh (a fermented soy product) intake was associated with better memory.

....What triggers puberty?
Why do different people go through it at different times?
Who knows?
As life expectancy grows, wouldn't it be, at the very least, intelligent and rational to expect that things, like puberty, may be affected as well?
...Freaking Unbelievable.
