What foods can cause precocious puberty in children?

Precocious puberty is a common problem that has been frequently reported by major media in recent years. Generally speaking, major clinics have begun to slowly study how to treat children's precocious puberty. Generally speaking, children's precocious puberty is inseparable from some unhealthy diets. Eating well does not mean good health. So what are the food precautions for children's precocious puberty?

The number of children with precocious puberty has increased year by year in my country over the past 20 years, reaching a peak in the mid-1990s. Some specialist clinics are even often overcrowded. "What should we feed our children?" All parents anxiously ask the same question, and this is precisely the most difficult question for doctors to answer. Because it goes beyond the scope of clinical medicine and involves other areas such as nutrition, food safety, and even the food chain regulatory system and many social issues.

Improper diet is the primary factor leading to precocious puberty in children. Based on the current information, there are four main types of problematic foods.

1. Beautiful Fruits

Many parents love their children and spend money to buy fresh fruits for their children, thinking that fresh fruits have higher nutritional value. However, they do not know that some bright fruits are grown with "ripening agents".

Since crops grow more slowly in winter, the use of "ripening agents" will shorten the growth cycle and increase yields; and in spring, in order to rush to pick and market them early, criminals will also use "ripening agents" in some vegetables and fruits. In addition to "ripening agents", other agents that are often used as catalysts include "redding agents" and "enlargement agents". Therefore, some fruits that look red and big are actually "poisonous fruits" in beautiful appearance. Fruits and vegetables that are usually chosen to use catalysts include strawberries, dates, mangoes, cherries, tomatoes, watermelons, grapes, cucumbers, etc. Consumers must be discerning when purchasing.

Catalysts can cause damage to the human body in two main ways:

The catalyst contains a large amount of hormone-like ingredients. Whether it is plant or animal food, it contains a certain amount of hormones in its natural state, but the content is very small and will not cause adverse effects on the human body. The hormone content in catalysts is much higher, and these hormone components enter into vegetables and fruits. If children often eat these catalyzed foods, there is a risk of endocrine disorders.

Contains ingredients that promote hormone secretion. These ingredients in the catalyst cause abnormal secretion of sex hormones in the child's body, leading to precocious puberty.

2. Grow meat

There are all kinds of chicken, duck, fish and meat on the market today, and many of these poultry, fish and shrimp are grown with "growth promoters" and "fattening agents". For example, chickens that should have taken more than half a year to be slaughtered were slaughtered in more than a month. These chickens and ducks that are quickly marketed are all fed with feed containing hormones, and some are even directly injected with hormone drugs to promote the rapid growth of the animals.

In order to satisfy their children, many parents will ask girls to eat certain foods, such as KFC, meat, and colorful and beautiful fruits. Although these fruits are bright and beautiful, most of them are ripened with ripening agents, which are actually not good for health. KFC also contains relatively high levels of hormones, so it is not recommended for children to eat it. They can be eaten once a week, but don't let them sleep too much at one time.
