Girls are hitting puberty earlier and earlier, the average is no 10 years old, whereas it was 15 last century, and significant percents (differs by race though) are hitting it at 7.

Its true with boys to some extent as well according to studies. So at lease for boys/men, there is early onset of hormone production but an overall decrease in the hormone production.

That's not equivalent - indeed, it's not research. Who has measured girls' hormones over time?

High Quality Organic Milk delayed/postponed this for two years (11-13) in our household. Just one datapoint, but we did it on advice from others. We switched from generic milk upon the first indications/hints.

Genuinely, I have no idea what you're trying to say. Without scientific sources "high quality organic milk does x" might as well say snake oil. Unless I'm misreading your post, and you're not espousing snake oil.

If I had to guess...I think he is suggesting the added hormones in food (dairy/milk specifically) have a link to early onset of puberty.

It is my understanding both the hormones and antibiotics given to livestock do it fact have impact on the people that consume them.
