I said something to the wife about how tall one of the girls was and she told me she was taking something because she is developing too early, and then she told me about a few other girls we know with the same problem. These kids are like 7 or 8 years old and way bigger than the boys of the same age.

A while later I remembered Alex Jones talking about this and he was suggesting it was related to vaccines, but he isn't always that reliable. Anyone got a guess on what is going on?

It's probably growth hormones in the store-bought meat. I'm thinking beef and chicken particularly.

It is the pill.

Some women take contraceptive pills, those pills are synthetic hormones. After the pill does what it is meant to do, it abandons the body through urine. The urine goes to a wastewater treatment plant, and then usually into a river.

Later on, another town/city picks up the water from the same river, treats it, and pumps it to other people's home. No effective treatment exists for removing hormones and other pharmaceuticals from drinking water.

In places where there are not many rivers, big desserts, and water treatment is expensive, like for example, Australia, government has proposed to re-use some of the wastewater back into the drinking water that is pumped into people's home.

That is very bad because in cases like that you get an ever increasing level of hormones and other pharmaceuticals into the drinking water.

We used to think...  other people's medication didn't affect us, think twice!

I forgot to add that...

The Hormones, Synthetic Hormones, and other Chemicals that have Hormone-Like Activity in the Human Body are responsible for many disorders, not just "Girls developing early".

Since Girls develop early, when they are still not-so-old, they stop menstruating, that is, they lose their fertility at an early age.

Another thing...

A biological process that is not meant to start so early can cause ovarian problems, this leads to fertility problems too, but in some women the drama doesn't end there because due to Hormonal disruption they experience serious difficulties during child birth. Why?

Because the uterus must contract, and a Hormone called Oxytocin must be generated by the body in order to achieve those natural contractions "as easily as possible". There is of course, a synthetic Oxytocin, but it is not as effective.

Oxytocin is a chemical that seems to be linked somehow to "empathy", it's of course an even deeper topic, but I just wanted to point out that, even on very small amounts, Hormones have a strong impact on everybody's health.

Men are affected by the Hormones from the Pill too, and fishes, and other animals too. We can say it is not ecological either, but besides the Hormones, we have antibiotics, painkillers, anti-depressants, and many other types of drugs on the drinkable water.

I will stop here, I know I could extend myself even more, but I'd be probably going off topic because "girls developing too early" is just the tip of the iceberg...

Good article on the IGF-1 hormone given to cows, getting in the milk, and then girls drinking it.

Here's another one that talks both about IGF-1, and BPA.

Tele talked about "pseudo estrogens." I think he meant phytoestrogens, and these are found in soy products, and cause "man boobs." Not kidding.

Very bad for men.

The OP mentions height, that girls seem to be taller at an earlier age now.  I believe that girls on average have always been taller than boys until they reach about age 14 or so, when girls are usually the height that they will be as adults and boys are still gaining their height, often having a growth spurt those last 2 or 3 years of growth.

I wouldn't be too concerned about a young girl being tall since height may be more about genetics than anything, but this issue of girls developing womanly characteristics at younger ages has been noted by doctors and others now for quite a few years.

DoubtingThomas and Parentsfortruth and the others are right that it is probably caused by the hormones and other chemicals and toxins in our environment.  

Make sure that you are getting hormone free milk, eggs, dairy and meat.  Keep your children away from processed food as much as possible.  

Limit sugar, food colorings and other additives.

Stay as close to a natural diet as possible, buying organic foods whenever  and as much as your budget will allow.  If you can't afford organic foods, study the dirty dozen list and scrub or peel those fruits and vegetables or choose foods that are not on the dirty dozen list.

 

The idea that it's caused by chemical contamination doesn't explain the decline in the past:
