Hi Everyone,
I am in the process of transitioning to Ray Peat Diet, from a Paleo style diet recommended by Chris Kresser. It involves starchy carbs. I am now eating fruits. All I have left is milk/dairy to add, which is hard atm due to intolerance. But I am working on that.
The problem I have atm is the possible dangers of using egg shell as a calcium supplement. Please refer to the link below, which shows the dangers of calcium supplements. Now it doesnt address egg shells, but it does address all forms of calcium supplements available in the market. The studies show that it increases the risk of heart disease, and one of the possible theories is because the large release of calcium in one go is the problem, where as in dairy, its at a slower release.
My question is this, can we say the same thing about egg shells? Is it just as bad as other calcium supplements? If not, what proof do we have, besides Ray Peat simply recommending that it is a safe source of calcium?
