Publisher Description

Early puberty is becoming the norm, not the exception. The Breast Cancer Fund commissioned a meta-analysis of existing data on this subject in order to explore research indicating that early menarche is a risk factor for later development of breast cancer. The resulting publication, The Falling Age of Puberty in U.S. Girls, was authored by Sandra Steingraber and traces the complex and interlocking relationships between puberty; physiological, psychological and environmental conditions; and the consequences for the maturation process of our young women. Steingraber is best known for her work on the links between environmental toxins and cancer. TURNING PUBERTY ON IN AMERICA
