### I'm quite surprised to hear that - do you mean it actually is excreted
in the milk *and* absorbed into our bloodstream *and* acts on the growth
hormone receptors of human *and* there is enough of it to measurably affect
our bodies? Please provide some references if you will.

There is a fair amount of evidence that the age of
menarche for American females is dropping rapidly (on occassion,
as low as 3 years old).
### Do you mean there is a difference between the age of menarche in the
/filthy growth hormone polluted/ American population and the other
industrialized /but hormone-free/ countries? Are you saying that the cases
of menarche at age 3 is indeed caused by environmental factors, especially
such easily measurable ones as growth hormone concentrations? Or is it just
an unrelated, natural phenomenon, usually caused by enzymatic deficiencies
in steroid hormone synthesis, or pituitary and hypothalamic tumors, but with
suitable shock value to improve retention of the claims you present, and
make them more likely to be believed?
