Laurie, who took nutrition last semester, wants her roommates to buy milk and breakfast cereals that are fortified with vitamin D. Why are Laurie's suggestions sound?
Vitamin D is needed for calcium absorption, so adding vitamin D to milk, a good source of calcium, helps to provide the body with the calcium it needs and the vitamin D needed for its absorption simultaneously. Fortifying breakfast cereals that are typically eaten with milk is another way to try to ensure that the calcium and vitamin D the body needs are both available.
