The last I learned from the discovery channel, the maturing process in adolescents is affected by food consumption in general. Large quantities of high energy food stimulate growth and maturing. Girls seem particularly susceptible to this. Body fat levels seem to have a strong link to growth spurts during puberty.

Three observations on this bit of garbage:
1) From the Vegetarian Times: Children eating an excessively organic diet enter puberty significantly later than those children eating a diet high in beef and cow’s milk treated with growth hormones.
2) Children living in countries that ban hormone laden milk and animal products also do not enter puberty at early ages despite the high quality and variety of their diet.
3) If this had any barring on the matter then obese children would be entering puberty markedly sooner than non-obese children. And in case your wondering obesity tends to retard the maturation process slightly.
