I was saying the same thing to my husband last week. No where in my early childhood and beyond (school, home, doctors) did anyone emphasize the potential of osteoporosis.

I know! And young girls are dieting harder today than ever. They see female celebrities who have had ribs removed so their waists can be scrunched smaller with 'training corsets.' (And toes removed so their shoes fit better, sigh.) So there are Photoshopped celebrities and young female athletes who are unrealistically thin as role models. The pressure to have some kind of perfect body is so much worse with the internet able to purvey totally fraudulent female shapes. Thankfully, now, a lot of these athletes are going public and talking about the disordered eating that coaches and managers imposed on them. The problem is that there is an optimal stage for growing quality, healthy bone and missing that in one's twenties can have permanent consequences.
