Will children develop early by eating old mother chickens?

Moderate consumption of broiler chicken by children usually does not lead to early development. Old mother chicken is rich in high-quality protein and minerals, but its sex hormone content is extremely low. Normal dietary intake will not interfere with children's endocrine system. Excessive intake of animal protein or long-term consumption of hormone containing poultry may have an impact on growth and development. As a traditional nourishing ingredient, the protein structure in the meat of old hens is more easily absorbed by the human body, making it suitable for the growth needs of children. Chicken itself does not contain exogenous hormones, and the use of growth promoting hormones is also prohibited during regular breeding processes. The early development of children is more related to genetic factors, overall overnutrition, or exposure to environmental endocrine disruptors, and simply consuming old hens is not the main cause. It is recommended to control the weekly intake of poultry meat at 300-500 grams, and pay attention to pairing vegetables and fruits to maintain a balanced diet. In rare cases, if children consume large amounts of poultry purchased through informal channels for a long time, there may be a risk of hormone residue. Some free range poultry may have excessive meat hormones due to feed additive issues, which may affect the endocrine balance of children. Parents should pay attention to quarantine signs when purchasing, and avoid giving children animal organs and other hormone residue prone parts for consumption. Abnormal development should be considered due to factors such as precocious puberty, and it is recommended to seek medical attention and undergo screening in a timely manner.

Children's diet should pay attention to diversification, and the recommended daily total amount of poultry and livestock meat should not exceed 100 grams. The main cooking methods are clear stewing and steaming, avoiding high-fat methods such as deep frying. Regularly monitor changes in height and weight to ensure one hour of outdoor activity per day. If a girl develops secondary sexual characteristics before the age of 8 and a boy before the age of 9, they should immediately seek medical attention from a pediatric endocrinology department for bone age and hormone level testing.
