Chinese family tragedy: 530,000 children have precocious puberty, and it is not honey and soy milk that "destroys" children
"It cost 20,000 yuan, but I bought my son's precocious puberty." Ms. Zheng, who lives in Hunan, posted such a dynamic in her circle of friends.
Ms. Zheng's son Zhuangzhuang is 8 years old this year, from a small size to be much smaller than his peers, because she is worried that her son will be inferior to others in all aspects, she bought a well-known health care product for her son online, which is more than two years.
At first, there were indeed some signs of growing tall, but soon found some abnormalities that should not appear at this age, began to grow a small beard, throat knots also gradually began to protrude, the current feeling is not good Ms. Zheng took her son to the hospital to check after only to find that due to the large number of hormones in health care products, resulting in precocious puberty of the son, 8-year-old children's bone line has been closed in advance, it is difficult to grow tall in the future.
Ms. Zheng regretted not being in the beginning.
The IQ tax on children's health products has been cut again and again
Wahaha oral liquid
"After drinking Wahaha, eating is incense." This slogan is familiar to many people, and more importantly, this slogan pokes at the urgent psychology of parents who want their children to eat well. That year, before wahaha oral liquid was listed, Wahaha commissioned a scientific research institute to conduct a survey of more than 3,000 primary school students, and found that more than 44% of primary school students had different degrees of malnutrition.
Therefore, under the banner of iron supplementation, calcium supplementation, and zinc supplementation, Wahaha oral liquid was robbed of a fine light as soon as it was listed. However, some competitors have said that Wahaha has hormones that cause precocious puberty in children and produce many modern childhood diseases.
·“ Life One"
Life One, supposedly supplementing brain nutrition, improving memory, and improving immunity. Life No. 1 in the early stage of listing, TV advertising is overwhelming, it can be said that everyone knows everyone knows. However, from the ingredient list of Life One, the main ingredients are taurine and phospholipids, which are widely found in egg yolks and soybeans, and the effect is not as exaggerated as advertised.
Children's brain gold
Children's Brain Gold is a health care product launched by Giant Group that claims to "make 100 million people smart first", which is said to improve memory, prevent vision loss, and promote brain development. According to the data, the golden annual sales of children's brains at the peak of the period were as high as 560 million yuan.
However, the fish oil that is highlighted in children's brain gold will actually cause greater stimulation to children's blood vessels, and if taken in excess, it will also cause vascular diseases. The efficacy of "raising IQ" is even more nonsense.
In addition to the abuse of health care products, the causes of precocious puberty in children are as follows:
1. High frequency of use of plastic products;
2. Regular consumption of tonics, frequent consumption of fast food, consumption of animal foods or high-protein diets, foods containing preservatives and pigments;
3. Exposure to adult chemicals, love to watch emotional TV series or novels, etc.
Clinically, some children have signs of precocious puberty, and parents still think that their children are growing and developing rapidly, so they are proud and do not realize that something is wrong. So, what are the symptoms of precocious puberty in children?
Rapid judgment of precocious puberty: identify these symptoms
The data shows that about 530,000 children on the mainland have precocious puberty, but the diagnosis rate is less than 30%. This means that most children have precocious puberty, but they have not attracted the attention of parents.
First, we need to understand the definition of precocious puberty. Precocious puberty refers to the development of secondary sexual characteristics by girls before the age of 8 and boys before the age of 9 with symptoms of accelerated body. Specifically, common childhood precocious symptoms are:
· The chest develops rapidly, the breasts develop and enlarge, and there is a feeling of hardness or swelling.
· The sudden increase in body hair is manifested in boys with long beards, long armpit hair, pubic hair, and so on.
· Individuals are taller than children of the same age, and their height growth rate exceeds 6-7 cm per year.
For parents, to avoid precocious puberty, first of all, we must refuse to abuse health care products, do not give children a big supplement when there is nothing to do, it will only be counterproductive.
Secondly, pay close attention to the child's physical development, if there is an abnormality, such as a sudden increase in height or weight, or the appearance of secondary sexual characteristics, etc., it is necessary to take the child to the hospital for examination in time.
Finally, it is also possible to detect signs of precocious puberty early by doing regular bone age testing. In general, it is recommended that after the child is 6 years old, take the child to the health department of the hospital for a bone age test every year.
Health care products, supplements to eat less for children, in addition, some people say that honey, soy milk will also lead to children's precocious puberty, try to eat less, is this true?
Honey, soy milk can cause premature ripening? Justify the name of "Pot Bearer"
The reason why honey and soy milk can lead to precocious puberty is mainly related to the estrogen contained in the two components. The main ingredients in honey are sugar, water, etc., of which sugar accounts for more than 80%, and the remaining less than 20% is water and other substances.
Among other substances, the amount of pollen is negligible, and the plant hormones in pollen are even less. Therefore, honey does not lead to precocious puberty unless unscrupulous merchants add substances containing estrogen to honey.
In addition, soy milk does not lead to premature liberty. Because the phytoestrogens in soy milk are mainly very low activity of soybean isoflavones, and the content is very low, almost will not play any role in the human body.
It is also important that the phytoestrogens in soy milk have a two-way regulatory function, that is, estrogen activity is exerted when estrogen levels are low, and estrogen activity is suppressed when estrogen levels are high.
Therefore, there is no need to worry at all that soy milk will lead to premature ripening. On the contrary, soy milk is rich in nutrients, which is very beneficial for the growth and development of children.
On the road to avoiding precocious puberty in children, the role of parents is very important and the responsibility is great. As a parent, you must not only help your child develop good eating habits, but also improve your child's health awareness in order to ensure the healthy growth of your child and avoid detours.
If you want to change your child, of course, you must start by changing yourself. Educating children and guiding children to deal with emotions is never a simple process, and parents need to be patient and lead by example. After all, the road to parenting is a long way to go.
Finally, I recommend a set of genuine children's emotional management books "Children's Emotional Management and Character Cultivation Picture Book" to parents, a full set of 10 books, including many classic picture books that we are familiar with, such as "Mother I Can Do", "Brave to Be Yourself" and so on.
This is a set of "picture books on emotional management and character development" written for children aged 0-6 years old, each book has a typical and clear theme, highly targeted, and covers almost all the personality problems that children may encounter in the process of growing up.
Each story has a different animal as the protagonist, which can attract children's interest in reading, and also meet the cognitive characteristics of the baby, and can also cultivate children's good reading habits.
