"In other words, the estrogens bring on menses in teenage girls (or stimulate the proliferation of endometrial cells in preparation for pregnancy), and the estrogens stimulate the development of breast tissue in young women to prepare them for breastfeeding. Both of these important functions involve the stimulation of new cell growth. On the other hand, one of the most important functions of progesterone in women could be described in this simplified way: Progesterone protects pregnancy once pregnancy has been initiated. (The word "progesterone" was coined originally to mean "pro-gestation."" - Tanya Harter Pierce, Outsmart Your Cancer: Alternative Non-Toxic Treatments That Work (Get the book.)

"Ten to 15 percent of all calories consumed by America's teenage girls are from soft drinks.17 Attack Biology or the Environment? The mismatch between biology and the environment might be solved in several ways. Letting evolution catch up to the environment is one possibility, but this could require thousands of years. Fooling or overriding biology might be a solution. Clever scientists might find a drug that switches off the evolutionary need to store energy, counteracts desires to eat, or makes foods we now crave uninteresting." - Kelly Brownell and Katherine Battle Horgen, Food Fight (Get the book.)

"The Center for Disease Control's HIV/AIDS surveillance and STD surveillance show rates of infection among teenage girls from heterosexual relations are three times higher for gonorrhea and syphilis, and nine times higher for HIV, than corresponding rates among teenage boys would predict. This indicates a large majority of sexual outcomes such as pregnancy and disease among teenage girls results from sex with men age 20 and older. These patterns, in turn, indicate teenage boys and girls are not sexual peers in the sense the media and programs depict." - The Disinformation Company, Everything You Know Is Wrong: The Disinformation Guide to Secrets and Lies (Get the book.)

"These disorders are much more prevalent among females, particularly teenage girls and young women, than among males. People who starve themselves because of a pathological fear of weight gain suffer from anorexia nervosa. Excessive weight loss and malnutrition result, and anorectics have many symptoms associated with chronic starvation, including low blood pressure, slow heartbeat, constipation, osteoporosis, weakened immunity, and failure to menstruate. Treatment is often difficult, and death occurs in about 6 percent of cases." - The New York Times, The New York Times Guide to Essential Knowledge: A Desk Reference for the Curious Mind (Get the book.)

"It also was widely used to suppress lactation after childbirth, as a morning-after contraceptive, to slow growth in tall teenage girls, and to treat acne. Farmers fed it to livestock as a growth stimulator, so it showed up in hamburger, veal, and chicken for consumption. It was a highly profitable drug, made by some two hundred drug companies and sold under three hundred names.15 But then the bad news about complications began rolling in. After thirty years, DES went from being a wonder drug to being "the time bomb drug" in the media." - Richard A. Deyo M.D. M.P.H., Donald L. Patrick, Hope or Hype: The Obsession with Medical Advances and the High Cost of False Promises (Get the book.)

"For example, an intake of 8 grams of inulin a day increased calcium absorption among teenage girls by an average of 20 percent. LIVE ACTIVE CULTURES Before we explore yogurt's extraordinary abilities, it's important to understand that in order to be effectively health-promoting, the yogurt you buy must contain live active cultures. Yogurt is, quite simply, milk that has been curdled. To make yogurt, pasteurized, homogenized milk is inoculated with bacteria cultures and kept warm in an incubator where the lactose or milk sugar turns into lactic acid." - Steven G. Pratt, M.D. and Kathy Matthews, SuperFoods Rx: Fourteen Foods That Will Change Your Life (Get the book.) "Worse and even more troubling news is that nearly 90 percent of teenage girls and 70 percent of teenage boys don't meet their daily calcium requirement. For many, soda has replaced the old "milk at every meal" custom. This portends disastrous future health consequences for large numbers of people. A single i-cup serving of nonfat plain yogurt supplies 414 milligrams of calcium—an amazing 40 percent of your daily calcium needs and at a cost of only 100 calories. This compares favorably with nonfat milk, which has only 300 milligrams of calcium." - Steven G. Pratt, M.D. and Kathy Matthews, SuperFoods Rx: Fourteen Foods That Will Change Your Life (Get the book.)

"Most children, teenage girls, active women, and many sedentary men burn about 2,200 calories a day. Many sedentary women and some older adults burn about 1,600 calories a day. If a person takes in more calories than are burned up, the excess is stored as fat. In general, an excess deposit of 3,500 calories equals one pound of fat. To get rid of this pound of fat, the person must burn up the 3,500 calories. Weight Guidelines One of the most accurate ways to determine the correlation between weight and health risks is body mass index (BMI). ABMI of less than 18." - The New York Times, The New York Times Guide to Essential Knowledge: A Desk Reference for the Curious Mind (Get the book.) "The "chairman of the board" started out in the 1940s as a big band crooner who sent teenage girls into shrieking hysterics at Times Squares Paramount; his smooth style and sophisticated way with lyrics in many recordings made him an enduring star. His early films were musicals, notably On the Town (1949); then he was reborn as a dramatic actor, winning an Oscar for From Here to Eternity (1953). Later films include The Manchurian Candidate (1962) and The Detective (1968). Sitting Bull (Tatankalyotaka), b. Grand River, Lakota Nation (S. D.), ca. 1831; d. 1890. American Indian chief." - The New York Times, The New York Times Guide to Essential Knowledge: A Desk Reference for the Curious Mind (Get the book.)

"They used it to stunt the growth of teenage girls who, it was feared for social reasons, were growing too tall, and they handed it out as a morning-after birth control pill. They even prescribed it for "women without a history of pregnancy-related problems because of the belief that it would make for healthier babies"—a sort of superbaby vitamin. Another ad promoting desPLEX, illustrated with a laughing infant, read "live healthy babies." And in large block letters: "EFFECTIVE. SAFE." DES turned out to be anything but safe." - Donald L. Barlett and James B. Steele, Critical Condition: How Health Care in America Became Big Business (Get the book.)

"Teenagers who eat more refined foods without taking supplements commonly develop deficiencies. teenage girls tend to eat less, as they are concerned about their weight, and the changes in fatty tissue increase this concern. Thus, they also may consume a diet deficient in nutrients. With the beginning of the menstrual cycle, there are greater demands for iron and other nutrients as well. Problems of bulimia and anorexia nervosa are more common in teenage girls, and will be discussed further in the Weight Gain program in Chapter 17." - Elson M. Haas, M.D., Staying Healthy with Nutrition: The Complete Guide to Diet and Nutritional Medicine (Get the book.)

"Today, many teenage girls with this high copper mineral pattern are being "diagnosed" with bi-polar disorder. I consider this to be a pseudo-bi-polar disorder because the key underlying factor is a copper excess in a slow oxidizer mineral pattern. Estrogen Replacement Therapy This case illustrates the relationship between estrogen, copper excess, and slow oxidation. A 49 year-old post-menopausal female was placed on estrogen one and-a-half years prior to the hair analysis described here. She reported being active and energetic prior to the start of the estrogen therapy." - Rick Malter, The Strands of Health: A Guide to Understanding Hair Mineral Analysis (Get the book.)

"The groups at highest risk for iron deficiency are infants under 2 years of age, teenage girls, pregnant women, and the elderly. Iron deficiency may be due to an increased iron requirement, decreased dietary intake, diminished iron absorption or utilization, blood loss, or a combination of factors. The diagnosis of iron deficiency can best be made by measuring serum ferritin, the iron storage protein. This is by far the most sensitive test for iron deficiency." - Michael Murray, N.D. and Joseph Pizzorno, N.D., The Encyclopedia of Healing Foods (Get the book.)

"Anorexia nervosa occurs most frequently in teenage girls and college-age women, and it's estimated that about 1 percer t of all young women in this age group suffer from the disease. It is here that eating disorders take their most disturbing form: slow, deliberate starvation. Despite their obviously emaciated bodies, anorexics believe that they are overweight. They refuse food, or they eat just enough to keep their systems minimally functioning. Some may eat occasionally, just to please their families or friends, but they often purge themselves of the food afterward." - James F. Balch, M.D. and Mark Stengler, N.D., Prescription for Natural Cures: A Self-Care Guide for Treating Health Problems with Natural Remedies Including Diet and Nutrition, Nutritional Supplements, Bodywork, and More (Get the book.)
