How are egg shells and the enamel of your teeth the same?

Both teeth and eggshells are made of stone-like minerals containing mostly calcium. Bird eggshells are made of calcium carbonate, whil dental enamel is formed from calcium phosphate. Both of these materials are classified as COMPOSITES because they are actually not pure calcium carbonate or phosphate, but also contain additional components that are softer, and allow the mineral-like crystals to bond together into a rigid structure. The precise way the composite is organized, at the microscopic level, determines whether the material is hard and resiliant (like enamel) which is resistant to cracking, or hard and brittle like eggshell that cracks much more easily. To read more about how nature uses different materials, see if you can obtain a copy of the book--- _Life's Devices_, by Steven Vogel, 1988, Princeton University press--- from a local library. Or ask one of the librarians to help you find more information on the subject if the book isn't readily available.

What mineral supply strength to bone?

Calcium is an important mineral in our diet - our bones and teeth contain a lot of it. Calcium oxide is used in cement and concrete, and calcium cabonate is used in iron and steel making. if you have ever broken a bone, you might have had a cast made from plaster of Paris which is calcium sulphate. The name calcium comes from the latin word for lime (calcium oxide). Calcium is needed for our blood to clot properly, and for our muscles and nerves to work properly. There is about 1kilogram of calcium in a typical 70kilogram person and about 99% of this is stored in the bones. Calcium is found in foods such as milk, cheese and tofu. If we do not have enough calcium in our diet we run the risk of getting weak bones and teeth. Vitamin D is important for controlling the levels of calcium and phosphorus in our bodies. Eggs, butter and margarine are good sources of vitamin D and our bodies can also make it when we spend time in the sunshine.
