DESCRIPTION: The early onset of puberty in girls associated with animal protein consumption may be due to endocrine disrupting chemical pollutants in the meat supply. For more videos on this topic see:

·       Dairy & Sexual Precocity (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/dairy-sexual-precocity/)

If you're not familiar with IGF-1, I have a series of videos about the growth hormone (though mostly in relation to cancer risk). But see, for example, The Answer to the Pritikin Puzzle (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/the-answer-to-the-pritikin-puzzle/) and Cancer-Proofing Mutation (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/cancer-proofing-mutation/). And if you've never heard of "metabolic syndrome" I talk about it in Metabolic Syndrome and Plant-Based Diets (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/metabolic-syndrome-and-plant-based-diets/). Is it possible to overdo soy? Yes, but you'd have to work at it: How Much Soy Is Too Much? (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/how-much-soy-is-too-much/)
 
I talk more about endocrine disrupters in Xenoestrogens & Sperm Counts (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/xenoestrogens-sperm-counts/), Flame Retardant Chemical Contamination (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/flame-retardant-chemical-contamination-2/), Food Sources of Flame Retardant Chemicals (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/food-sources-of-flame-retardant-chemicals/), and Pollutants in Californian Breast Tissue (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/pollutants-in-californian-breast-tissue/).

Have a question for Dr. Greger about this video? Leave it in the comment section at http://nutritionfacts.org/video/protein-puberty-and-pollutants/ and he'll try to answer it!
