"She was menstruating at 7 months, and by 9 months, she was menstruating regularly," Ojeda says. .... Researchers believe that everyday environmental toxins trigger signals to the brain to begin puberty before the body is ready.

Oh, please. How many "everyday environmental toxins" could she have been exposed to by age 7 months, to the point where it completely screwed up her reproductive system? I say balderdash.

There is a medical syndrome that causes such precosious puberty. But this is a poor example of what is wrong with early puberty which is the fact that the age of puberty is just dropping a bit.
