Yes interesting. I heard over the radio a recent study, that showed the average age of puberty for young females has decreased, a lot are starting puberty, at guess this...... 7 years old. Good grief.

I've read studies that are theorizing the decrease in age of puberty to the hormones given to cows to increase milk production.

I use these creams myself. When I started using them, it was recommended to wash hands after applying them and apply about an hour before bed. That way the skin will have soaked it in and little chance of the cream transferring to my husband. So I can see how it would with a pup. I will have to keep an eye on her. She has a tendency to lick my skin.

I saw the same thing on the news years ago and told my sister, who just gave birth at the time. She only feeds her kids milk that clearly states on the label that they are from cows not treated with hormones. However, there's also cheese products and all kinds of foods with milk as ingredient. That's why girls are reaching puberty earlier and boys later. This also means girls will reach menopause earlier as well. Big corporations just out to make more bucks with total disregard for consumer health.
