A young girl frequently ate fast food, and by the time she was only in third grade, she had already started menstruating! This 9-year-old girl from Changhua began developing breasts in first grade, and by third grade, she had her period. After a medical examination, she was diagnosed with "precocious puberty." The gynecologist discovered that the girl loved eating fast food, consuming at least two fried chicken legs every day. The doctor explained that excessive intake of high-calorie, high-fat fast food, which may contain estrogen-like compounds, could trigger precocious puberty.
Fried chicken, fries, and burgers—these high-calorie, high-fat fast foods are favorites among many children. A survey conducted in a third-grade class revealed that out of over 30 students, 11 ate fast food daily, a staggering ratio of one-third! Elementary school teacher: "Raise your hand if you eat fast food every day! 1, 2, 3… 9, 10, 11. Oh! That’s unhealthy—too many calories."
In Changhua, a 9-year-old girl ate fast food daily, consuming at least two chicken legs. Standing at 140 cm tall, she appeared plump and fair-skinned. The girl began developing breasts in first grade, and by third grade, she had her period. Gynecologist: "For a 7-year-old boy or girl, the maximum daily meat intake should be about 5 taels (roughly one fried chicken leg). This little girl ate at least one or two chicken legs a day, exceeding the normal intake."
Why does a love for fast food lead to precocious puberty? According to gynecologists, children who frequently eat fried chicken, burgers, and fries consume excessive fats. Too much fat can accumulate in the body, stimulating hormone secretion and potentially triggering precocious puberty. Once diagnosed, doctors warn that it can affect the child’s growth, leading to shorter stature.
