I actually did not realize the kids could be at risk for osteoporosis. I always think of it as an older, woman's disease. Thanks for the info.
Stacey-Ann - I always thought it was an older woman's disease, also. I learn something new every day... :)
Debi.. I must say, I like reading your blogs. I always seem to learn something.
Valerie - Thank you for your kind words... They are a great encouragement. :)
<!--[if !supportLists]-->1. <!--[endif]-->Since my daughter as born, more than 5 years ago, I have been reading up quite a bit on vitamins and minerals important for children. Recently caught up on some interesting info on Lexor Health Vitamin D3. As children, and even babies, are more prone to bone deformities, adequate intake of Vitamin D3 is important. In fact, children should get a daily dose of 200 IU of Vitamin D3 to reduce the risk of bone related complications such as rickets.
