Answer to Question 1

D
Calcium intake is a concern for teenage girls because they often have inadequate intakes of cal-cium-rich foods. Iron, not calcium, is lost from the body during menstruation. Adolescent girls and boys have the same calcium needs. Lactose intolerance is not especially common in adoles-cent girls.

Answer to Question 2

D
Feedback:
Milk intake has decreased while the intake of soda and fruit juices has increased. Milk is a primary source of calcium.
