Studies show that the worldwide age for onset of puberty, particularly early breast development, has begun earlier each decade. In fact, between 1991 and 2006, the age for onset of breast development in girls adjusted by a full year (from a mean age of 10.9 to 9.9). While several theories have emerged about what is causing the earlier presence of female sex characteristics, one prominent theory is that it is due to ubiquitous early exposure to hormones in food products from the agricultural industry.
