Shocked doctors blame hormones in food and water for some toddlers showing signs of breast growth, The Sun reports.
Other pre-school youngsters even experience periods that normally start in their teens – and have temper tantrums just like adolescents.
The phenomenon is feared to have become more common since the 1990s – with doctors having to give increasing numbers of tots jabs to keep puberty at bay.
The mum of one girl, who at three was found to have the “bone age” of a nine-year-old, told how she was stunned when her daughter began acting like a ratty teen.
Hayley Holden said: “She used to slam doors and try and hit me. We’d go to supermarkets and she’d lie on the floor screaming.
“At the time, I just thought I had an ‘Omen’ child.”
She was stunned when medics told her Ellie-May – now eight – needed hormone injections to stave off puberty.
Harley Tedds, now ten, also has the painful jabs. Her mother Bernie said: “At five-years-old Harley was shaving her armpits and legs.
“Her face and hands were appearing puffy – the nurse noticed she was developing breasts.”
Harley said: “I used to get bullied about how I look and I used to get dirty looks from people.
“You just want to be the same as your friends.”
Junk food diets could be another factor in the early onset of puberty, according to hormone expert Peter Clayton.
He said: “There might be a link between the increasing amounts of obesity in childhood and early puberty.” www.news.com.au/couriermail/

Hello,
i saw a cool article about how some amazon Indians don't get any major westernized medical problems, such as Alzheimer's , cancer, diabetes, osteoporosis( arthritis ) etc, the study found that because of the rich diet of hundreds of different fruits and herbs the Indians were able to have a high immune system. WE definitely need to start eating the foods that the earth already provides for us, not synthetic man made foods which is not as good.
Did you hear how the USA government wants to start selling genetic modified meat and milk to consumers, now that is scary.

Hello hayden, Yes the Brazilian Natives have a really healthy deity and they really know how to take care of themselves. The only problem about it is that now the price of fruits like Acai has an international demand and the prices of most of those curative plants found in the Amazon jungle are now really pricey. Nevertheless, whenever you have a chance, stop by at your local health food store and buy a pure Acai juice. I am sure you will ask for another one. The GMO foods are everywhere. Just be careful, and as much you can; go for GMO Free products. However, no I never heard about GMO Meat... Hey that maybe part of the third world war plan; change the molecular structure of the food, so the consumer will get weaker and weaker. Yes that is scary!

The USDA approval was for meat & milk from cloned animals. It has nothing to do with genetically modified food, which is something else altogether. A clone is no different from a naturally occurring identical twin. Also, the US government does not sell food products to consumers. Those come from the private sector - farmers and ranchers. The government just regulates the products for quality and safety. Genetically modified food is not something to worry about. The thing to really worry about is contamination with microorganisms that cause disease. That has been an ongoing problem for years now. It is caused by improper and unhygienic handling of food products.

It is caused by improper and unhygienic handling of food products. I think we all know that FDA regulates and is responsible for ensuring that foods are safe, but it is the farmers and supermarket chains that sell it, however, FDA approves Coke, which as far as heath is concerned, it is really bad to be consumed. Anyhow, I am surprise that you are so sure about the FDA's decisions and regulations regarding food. Most farmers, who are into Organic Food, are totally convinced that the methodology used to develop GMO are unlike to be safe as the Organic produces by Mother Nature... Nevertheless, not only the Green people are unhappy about these experiments; the scientific community are also apprehensive: "Scientists are concerned that engineered organisms might harm people’s health or the environment. For example, engineered crops might contaminate the food supply with drugs, kill beneficial insects, or jeopardize valuable natural resources like Bt toxins. Engineered fish may substantially alter native ecosystems, perhaps even driving wild populations to extinction." Union of Concerned Scientists "This stunning European documentary made available for the first time in the US, reveals several harsh consequences of genetic engineering worldwide":uk.youtube.com/watch?v=MA76tcYLNXg&feature=related

all i can say is keep the genetic shit in the Lab, Maybe when we need to colonize another planet that is dead thats when genetic material might come in handy, but dont stuff up the earths gene pool.

Colonize other planets and contaminate it with Transgenic Organisms? Sounds barbarian fiction.

Transgenic Organism
Plant, animal, bacterium, or other living organism that has had a foreign gene added to it by means of genetic engineering. In terms of laboratory research, transgenic manipulations of organisms have become well-established scientific procedures which are finding progressively more applications in the health and food industries.
This can have its useful applications i think, but we should keep it in the lab on earth instead. And plus by the sounds of it Transgenic organisms have been sent to earth anyway. Francis Crick, the nobel laureate biologist who discovered the double Helix, the spiral structure of DNA. The reporter ask Francis Crick if " our DNA came from another planet or source?". Francis crick published that theory 25 year ago, its called " Directed Panspermia". The reporter ask " do you think it arrived in a comet or meteor" he asked.
"NO" said Crick. "Anything living would have died in such an accidental journey through space."--(me: well this could be debated, as there could be spieces of life that could cocoon themselves and transverse space, still alot to be explored yet.)
reporter asks " are you saying DNA was sent here in vehicle?" "Its the only possibility" said crick
