menopause has nothing to do with the total number of follicles. it has everything to do with hormone level.

plus there is no relationship between early menache (early puberty) with early menopause. usually we see a reverse relationship between menache and menopause, for example, early menache and late menopause, or late menache and early menopause. however, we still can not conclude there is any relationship.

nowadays, research reveals that both early menache and late menopause are the risk factors for breast cancer.

so for moms with daughters: breast feeding while you eat organically or feed organic formula when your daughters are infants. feed organic foods when they are ready to eat solid or table foods.

for mom in their mid 30s or later: eat as less as mammal meat as possible, exercise regularly to shed off the extra fat in your body. basically you don't need E2, progesterone anymore if you finish your family (i.e., your reproduction task is done). welcome menopause as early as possibly.

also, from my personal experience, i don't see women with late menopause look younger. I see women with late menopause have more chances of getting breast cancer and they look old too.
