EARLY-ONSET PUBERTY
It’s common these days for girls to enter puberty before discovering “Are You There God? It’s Me, Margaret”.
“Over the second half of the 20th century, the average age for girls to begin breast development has dropped by a year or more in the industrialized world.

Lemon Date Balls
These tasty lemon date balls are a great snack or dessert and are GAPS, SCD and Paleo-legal.
To make them friendly for places with nut-allergic children, substitute sesame seeds for the walnuts.
I recommend soaking nuts and seeds overnight to remove the digestion-inhibitory effects of phytic acid. Drain, rinse, drain again, then dehydrate until crunchy.
Serves: 16
Prep time: 10 minutes
Allergy: Tree nuts
Ingredients
- 1 cup walnuts (soaked overnight, dehydrated and chopped)
- 1 cup pitted dates (chopped)
- 3/4 cups white sesame seeds
- 2 lemons (zested and juiced)
- 1/2 cup unsweetened, shredded coconut flakes
Directions
Process all ingredients (except for optional coconut flakes) in a blender or food processor, or you can mix by hand for a more rustic version.
Wet your hands and foll mixture into balls. If desired, roll balls in coconut flakes.
Store in refrigerator or freezer.
