She was suggested to increase calcium phosphate and reduce soda content because acidic soda dissolves the calcium phosphate of the teeth.

Explanation:

Calcium phosphate is an important mineral which keeps the teeth firm and strong. If calcium phosphate is not present in adequate quantity it will cause the teeth to become soft and easy for cavities to get formed.

Calcium phosphate naturally repairs the teeth by remineralization process.

Soda contains phosphoric and citric acids which dissolve the protective layer of calcium phosphate of the teeth and makes it brittle causing increased cavities.

Animals with chitinous exoskeletons and jointed appendages are classified as
Dvinal [7]
Animals with chitinous exoskeletons and jointed appendages are classified as Arthropods.  
<span>
Arthropods are invertebrates which have an exoskeleton (external skeleton) enveloped with cuticle of chitin, a segmented body, and paired jointed appendages (each segment contains a pair of appendages). The cuticle is a rigid structure (usually mineralised with calcium carbonate), so those animals must replace it periodically by moulting. Arthropods include insects, arachnids, myriapods, and crustaceans.</span>
