I’m not quite sure where to post this but I just wanted to know everyone’s opinion on this topic.

My niece started her period today at 8 years old. I was 13, almost 14 when I started mine. There have been studies, articles, and arguments about added hormones in our food that may cause this.

I have not done enough research on this to really know much. I was wondering what you ladies thought on this subject. If you do think that is what is causing early menses and puberty, will you be giving your child those things or taking precautions to hopefully avoid it?

Please no bashing as I said I have not done enough research on it, I am just really curious on what the thought was on this subject.
