Growth hormones and kids hitting puberty earlier than ever... Any hard facts or conclusive evidence?

Question by The Code Man: Growth hormones and kids hitting puberty earlier than ever... Any hard facts or conclusive evidence?
I've heard growth hormones are fed to livestock, (not all) and in turn can be transfered to eggs or found in the flesh of the animal. What are your opinions on this? Any facts?

Answer by Kate
There was a documented case in south america some years ago where chickens had been fed hormones and the kids who ate it were developing breasts and menstruation as early as 6. One case was about a little boy who developed breasts and female characteristics.

What do you think about HGH being linked to Rick Ankiel???

Question by Cardinals = Greatness: What do you think about HGH being linked to Rick Ankiel???
He ordered a 12-month supply of HGH (Human Growth Hormone) in 2004, one year before MLB banned the substance. Ankiel didn't order anymore of the drug after it was banned. While the drug was not illegal in baseball at the time, I'm still disappointed that Ankiel used it. Although it was legal at the time, do you think he'll get in any kind of trouble?
Here is the link to the story:

You cant do stretches to grow taller, if anything that just decompresses your body so you are "technically" taller by like a few mm.

Would doctors prescribe human growth hormones to me?

Question by sportsfan: Would doctors prescribe human growth hormones to me?
Im 5"4, 14 years old. both my parents are 5"3. I do not think i have a hormone deficiency.
my projected adult height is between 5"4 and 5"5.


Best answer:

Answer by Reverse Osmosis
Are you a male or a female?

Even if you are a male 5'4 is a short height but its not abnormally short so I don't think you need to take HGH. Besides, you are only 14, you will probably grow a couple more inches in the coming years.
