    A really, really lame-brained bunch of baloney! And there are other things that are so, so much more important things to write about - like how are your children doing in science class, and math, and reading & writing. DAW

    Not everyone think the way you do. This site is about Health. There are other places you can comment on math and the other thing that you have named. I for one started my dot as some of us call it ,when I was 9 years old. Back then we did not know much about what was going on. I was the only one it a my school that had Breasts at the age of 10. My sister on the other hand started her Dot when she was 14 and did not get Breasts until she was 15. Each of us are different and it is good information and I am glad Lilli is here to give much need information Thank Lilli

    Although you did hint at the fact that much of the food the typical American eats has added estrogens in it (hormones are added to meat and dairy to increase production), you make no mention of the chemicals that we are being exposed to that act as estrogens in our bodies. There is quite a bit of research that suggests that these estrogen mimics are causing puberty to occur at an earlier age. Previous generations were not exposed to anywhere near the chemical burden that our bodies are exposed to today. Why don't you do a column that talks about the link between estrogen mimics and breast cancer?
