Did Powdered Milk From China Cause Baby Girls to Grow Breasts?
Did Powdered Milk From China Cause Baby Girls to Grow Breasts?

China's Health Ministry has ordered an investigation into claims that powdered baby milk caused girls — as young as four months old — to grow breasts.

2. I love how MSNBC was reporting on Monday that girls are reaching
puberty now as young as 8 years old - that's right - EIGHT YEARS OLD - and that was that. No outrage. No harumphing. No screaming bloody murder asking what the hell is happening to us? Just another fucking headline item.

But they did talk about Justin Bieber, Naomi Campbell, Mia Farrow, Briston and Levi, et. al.
