“Understanding what causes early onset of puberty in New Jersey girls is crucial to improving their health ...” This quote is from Elisa Bandera, MD at
The Cancer Institute of New Jersey. There are some interesting implications in that quote. For instance, "crucial to improving their health" implies that there is something abnormal with early onset of puberty in New Jersey girls. This also suggests that pharmaceutical companies would be interested in developing drugs that could treat this condition. Maybe they are just looking for another reason to medicate another segment of the population. I'm 55 and my wife is 46. Neither of us is on any medication. When either of us go to the doctor for a yearly 'well-person' checkup, the doctor is amazed that we aren't on any medications. I wonder why no one has noticed that boys in New Jersey have started to enter puberty earlier?
