soda consumption = endocrine-disrupters= early menopause & early puberty = bad health
Story at-a-glance −
- Precocious puberty is triggered by premature release of hormones, which results in sexual maturation, sometimes years before the natural norm
- Environmental exposure to endocrine-disrupting chemicals plays a major if not decisive role. Recent research also claims that high soda consumption can affect young girls’ rate of maturation
- Many of the same chemicals that cause precocious puberty are also associated with early menopause, which can have an adverse effect on ovarian function
