Do you eat egg shells ?
Not the whole shell but a bit of it ?
You should
The use of eggshells as an ideal calcium supplement is backed by “hard science”, Studies show that egg shell minerals can exert beneficial effects on bone density, largely as a consequence of their well-absorbed content of calcium. An added advantage of egg shells in their content of other trace amounts of elements that are useful in building bones e.g. magnesium, sulphur, silicon and boron.
Dutch researchers have described recently a highly positive effect of eggshell calcium, with added magnesium and vitamin D on bone mineral density (Schaafsma and colleagues, British Journal of Nutrition, 87, 3, 267-275, 2002).
Experiments in young pigs demonstrate that egg shell powder is a better source of calcium than calcium carbonate (Schaafsma A, Beelen GM, Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, 79, 12, 1999)

I have to say, I eat a ton of eggs, and the only way you will get me to eat the shell is if a bit slips in unnoticed when I am scrambling them up. Yuck.
