Are egg shells bad for you?

Question

My mum always tells me not to let the shell of an egg fall into whatever you're making when you crack the egg.

Is it bad for you or is it just not a nice taste or something?

Thanks :)

Answer 1

No...they don't cause any harm!!!!!

Answer 2

Its not bad for you,but imagine your biting into a soft moist egg sandwich and you suddenly get a crunch,i have never eaten egg since

Answer 3

you are not suppossed to eat it.i´d say it is like eating the bone of a t-bone..

Answer 4

haha my mum says the opposite..she always complains when i'm trying to get the egg shell out, that it's not bad for me :]

now i'm confused :]

...also..

don't forget to send them photos to me :)

Answer 5

Its not that they're bad for you, they are unpleasant to eat as the very hard crunch is unexpected and you might think you cracked your tooth or something.  Of course, mom just wants you to get the added calcium in your diet!!

We've always hard boiled eggs and given them to our big dogs for that very reason, calcium.  They love them.

Answer 6

well im 47 and i remember an aunt of mine putting egg shell and all into the blender when making a milkshake for us when i was a kid. to be honest they are a good source of calcium  and other vitamins. so no they arent bad for you they are good for ya
