    Over what time period do bone cells burn 2.3 calories per kg? A day? An hour? The lifetime of the bone cell?

    When I search for data like this I prefer to have the question “How do you know what you know?” answered. That is I’d like to know the source of your data? I feel much more confident relying on data when I have references to back it up.

    Thanks Daven
