Endocrine disruptors responsible for cases of early puberty

Endocrine disruptors responsible for cases of early puberty

A new study confirms the phenomenon of early puberty in the United States, affecting one in six girls, often as young as 7 years. France and Europe are also concerned. The problem is the presence of certain pollutants in our environment, such as bisphenol A in plastics, paraben in cosmetics and pesticides. Example with a girl with the silhouette of a teenager, Charline MORISOT. His body began to change at the age of seven. She testifies: "I thought it must be normal, but when I saw Doctor Puel, I thought it must still be a bit disturbing". The doctor who follows her, Doctor Olivier PUEL (pediatric endocrinologist), talks about early puberty and the case of Charline MORISOT.
