Even though eggshells are natural, they must be handled properly:

❌ Do not consume raw or unprocessed eggshells
❌ Do not assume they replace dietary calcium supplements
❌ Always clean thoroughly before reuse

👉 Food safety is very important.

🧠 Common myths about eggshells

❌ “Eggshells instantly cure calcium deficiency”
❌ “Boiled shells are a superfood”
