Teens in the U.S. tend to consume far more calcium than needed.
Answer the following statement true (T) or false (F)

Figure 2-3 in Chapter 2 shows the stark contrast between milk and soft drinks with respect to calcium and other nutrients. If dairy products are not consumed, alternative calcium sources need to be included in the diet.
