I totally agree with you.

I also have issues with this statement :

{Gynaecologist Dr Michelle Tham, based in New York, told MyFoxDC that there were a number of possible causes for early puberty including obesity.}

All the young girls I know of that started puberty early were far from obese. They were average if not underweight.

I can understand that but the promiscuous theory is a bit of stretch.
