Dr. Zhang Weiling
Girls typically experience precocious puberty due to decreased negative sensitivity to sex hormones, leading to premature elevation of gonadotropins. Animal feed often contains hormones; consequently, meat products derived from such animals, when consumed by children, may exert hormonal effects on their bodies. With improved living standards and better nutritional intake, children’s physical development tends to accelerate, potentially resulting in early sexual development and maturation.
