Question
Lately, the child has been crying and fussing constantly, and doesn’t eat much. What impact does tofu have on precocious puberty?
Answer
Tofu is a food rich in soy protein, and it does not promote precocious puberty. Precocious puberty is usually caused by the premature activation of the hypothalamus-pituitary-gonadal axis, which has no direct relationship with diet. Therefore, tofu can be safely consumed by children.
