Answer to Question 2

This is the time that the bone building process (adding calcium salts to the bone structure) is much greater and faster than the bone break down process. So the bones can be seen as a bank of sorts for calcium. The more calcium that is stored in these years, the greater amount of calcium that the bones can release in later years without becoming too thinned or brittle. Parents can limit the amount of soda at home and provide milk or calcium and vitamin D fortified beverages in soda's place. Yogurt is a delicious source of vitamin D and calcium and may contain less lactose such that someone with lactose intolerance can enjoy a cup of yogurt without the ill effects.
