Answer to Question 1

Molybdenum acts as a working part of several metalloenzymes. Dietary deficiencies of molybdenum are unknown because the amounts needed are minusculeas little as 0.1 part per million parts of body tissue. Legumes, breads and other grain products, leafy green vegetables, milk, and liver are molybdenum-rich foods. Average daily intakes fall within the suggested range of intakes.

Answer to Question 2

During the mineralization of bones and teeth, calcium and phosphorus form crystals called hydroxyapatite. Then fluoride replaces the hydroxyl (OH) portions of the hydroxyapatite crystal, forming fluorapatite, which makes the teeth stronger and more resistant to decay. Dental caries ranks as the nation's most widespread public health problem: an estimated 95 percent of the population have decayed, missing, or filled teeth. These dental problems can quickly lead to a multitude of nutrition problems by interfering with a person's ability to chew and eat a wide variety of foods. Where fluoride is lacking, dental decay is common.
