Does eating bird's nest cause precocious puberty in children?

Patient's question:

The child has been crying non-stop recently and hasn't been eating much. Is it true that eating bird's nest can cause precocious puberty in children?

Doctor's answer:

Children eating a moderate amount of bird's nest will never cause precocious puberty, but they must be very careful not to eat too much, as it can easily lead to stomach upset. Additionally, precocious puberty is generally caused by consuming too many hormone-rich foods. It is recommended that parents limit their children's intake of snacks and a lot of puffed and fried foods, as these can effectively prevent precocious puberty. They can eat more fresh fruits and vegetables instead.
