Typically, puberty begins when a child in the life of eight to ten years and ended approximately at the age of 15 to 16 years.
"So that's what we call his name endocrine distractor, a chemical that distruction disrupt the body's endocrine system," said Dr. Aman Bakti Pulungan, SP.A (K), Chairman of the Working Group Endocrinology Unit of Child Health, Faculty of Medicine, University of Indonesia (Faculty of medicine), current events Discussion Forum Institute for Health and Development Study, Saturday (07/16/2011).
Aman explained, so far there have been studies in Latin America that examines the relationship between the habit of eating chicken pieces to the risk of early puberty. But the results of scientific research does not succeed in proving any connection between them.
"But case by case, I am quite sure, this effect especially in girls. If for example there is a chemical or hormonal substances in the chicken," he added.
