What foods can cause precocious puberty in children?

Statistics show that the precocious puberty rate among Chinese children has reached about 1%. This figure is very harmful to us. Most precocious puberty is caused by eating, because bad diet and bad living habits may cause precocious puberty, such as drinking milk powder, eating a lot of snacks, and taking too high supplement hormones. So what foods should children pay attention to when it comes to precocious puberty?

Be careful! These foods can cause precocious puberty

1. Medicinal materials

Children are afraid of taking medicine, even tonic medicine, so parents think of medicated food. Turn medicinal herbs such as snow frog, cordyceps, ginseng, American ginseng, etc. into soups on the table and let children take them while eating.

Experts point out that foods such as snow frog, cordyceps, and ginseng (including American ginseng) have high levels of gonadotropin, which can easily induce precocious puberty in peripubertal children (girls aged 6-8, boys aged 7-10). Parents should not think that these are tonics and let their children take them for a long time.

2. Health products

Chewable tablets, fruit-flavored lozenges, sweet oral liquids...many health products are dressed in colorful coats and are very appealing to children. The "effects" written in the instructions, such as "helps to enhance children's immunity" and "helps children's bone development", deeply attracted parents. For this reason, it is possible for a child to take more than three health supplements a day.

3. Experts said: "Some oral solutions that claim to make children 'grow taller and stronger' contain hormones. After taking them, children grow taller and stronger than children of the same age at the age of five or six. However, when the children enter the normal development stage, they do not grow. Therefore, you should not blindly buy oral rehydration solutions for your children on the market. In addition, do not give your children tonics such as bovine colostrum, royal jelly, and pollen preparations.

4. There are many brands of bovine colostrum on the market now, and the prices are high. They all claim to be able to improve the immunity of infants and young children. Many mothers who love their children choose to buy it for their children, hoping to make up for the regret that their children cannot drink human milk. In fact, colostrum is the milk of a cow in the first week after giving birth. It contains extremely high levels of gonadotropin. For children approaching puberty, their bodies are more sensitive, and long-term and large-scale consumption can easily cause them to enter puberty early. ”

There are many kinds of foods that cause precocious puberty in children, such as milk powder with bad ingredients, and a large number of supplements and health products may cause precocious puberty in children. Parents should not give their children a large amount of health products every day just because they think their children are in poor health. This is exactly what causes precocious puberty.
