Is anyone aware of any data on earlier onset of male maturity?  Is it just

I googled these websites: (gotta love googling)

http://www.mum.org/menarage.htm
http://www.007b.com/early_puberty.php
http://envirocancer.cornell.edu/FactSheet/Diet/fs37.hormones.cfm

A good task for your student might be to evaluate the quality of these 
websites, which offer somewhat different perspectives--I also thought the 
references cited within the articles offer a nice assignment ;-)
