ELI5. As far as I understand milk makes your bones strong, but how strong can they get can I become unbreakable.
In: Biology
No. There is a certain maximum amount of strength that our bones can reach due to the inherent properties of the minerals that make them up. The problem with metabolizing not enough calcium is that our bones get small holes in them which weaken the entire structure. It’s like if you take the wooden frame of a house and drill a bunch of holes in it: the beams will buckle under the weight of the rest of the house. Getting enough calcium can reduce this effect and keep our bones relatively solid, but they will never get stronger than the minerals can handle.
