Egg shells:  = 36-37% elemental calcium + traces of phosphorus and trace elements\nExample: 500 mg of dried powdered eggshell = ca. 180 mg elemental calcium  http://www.serve.com/BatonRouge/nutrition/calcium_suppl.htm\n\nThe shell is largely composed of calcium carbonate (about 94%) with small amounts of magnesium carbonate, calcium phosphate and other organic matter including protein.  http://www.georgiaeggs.org/pages/shell.html\nThe surface of the eggs can retain feces, residue from flies\nand other insects, and host of other barnyard filth in the pores of the shell – even though they are washed or inspected.  http://answers.google.com/answers/threadview?id=551438\n\nI can find no evidence that eggshells help humans with calcium, BUT I did find these uses:  \nYou’ve heard of “liming” the garden and lawn, right? Most people buy a bag of lime (calcium carbonate) every few years and sprinkle it throughout the garden. Were you aware that eggshells are 93% calcium carbonate?   http://www.backwoodshome.com/articles/nyerges44.html\n\nEven turtle owners are warned against this:  The use of home prepared eggshells from store-bought eggs is not recommended due to the lack of quality control over feed inputs and the potential for contamination with residues due to the difficulty of removing all membrane traces. http://www.tortoisetrust.org/articles/calcium.htm\n\nThey've developed a process that turns eggshells into a supplement equivalent to monocalcium or dicalcium phosphate, the most common phosphorus supplements for livestock.  http://ard.unl.edu/rn/0901/egg.html

know nothing about your ingredients but what i do know that works (and don't laugh) is to beat an egg yolk and apply it to your face - let it dry and try not to smile etc while it dries and then wipe clean with slightly warm water. it will pull oils from your skin and will feel soft as all get out.

There have been some cases of osteonecrosis of the jaw in patients, but the numbers are small.  Everything is a risk, there are no free lunches.  Actonel and Fosamax both increase bone mass, and studies have shown that the bone mass is as good as if it were never not there.  Fractures of the hand, spine etc., (Dowager's Hump) are less in patients taking these medications.  Caucasion women, and Asians are particularly prone to osteoporosis, since they are naturally lighter boned than say black women---i.e. they begin menapause with less bone mass.  You probably now are producing no estrogen, therefore are open to bone resorption at a faster level than if you were on HRT.  Estrogen keeps a woman "younger" than she would otherwise be -- estrogen keeps collegen in place, slows the process of wrinkles, allows vaginal tissues to remain thick and strong, reduced constipation by keeping the lower bowel fit,  keeps mental accuity, and on and on and on.  But estrogen dependent cancers tend to kill, so women with estrogen dependent  cancers generally have a hysterectomy with ovary removal.   The interesting thing about Actonel and Fosamax is that even if you acquire osteonecrosis of the jaw, even if you stop, the drug remains in your system for years.....that's why it is no big deal to miss a week once in a while, or to not take the pill every day of the same week.   In your place, the threat of osteoporosis is a greater one than osteonecrosis of the jaw.  I take Fosamax, and plan to do so for the rest of my life....

If you're having trouble eating them dried (I personally love them that way) you can soak them for about 8 hours in purified water and bake them into whole grain muffins, pancakes or cereal. If you ad them to hot cereal they're pretty fab too! Even with these suggestions if you're still finding them a little hard to take just remember how incredibly good they are for you and eat them anyway!

Going to church for today. We did an Easter egg hunt earlier in the week with my two married sisters and their children. After three rounds of the children finding the eggs the adults hid, the fourth round was reversed, and adults had to find the (hard-boiled) eggs the children hid. It was hard! There's still one somewhere in the living room we couldn't find! Usually we celebrate Easter with reading part of the New Testament or Book of Mormon about Christ's death and resurrection. My little brother is 18 and too old for Easter baskets. My mom used to make "bunny bread" in the shape of a large bunny, or bunny rolls which included a little "tail" in the middle.

Eggsactly .......  and pedestrians were banned as they would always be walking on eggshells ,,,,,,,,  but cars were always breaking down on the new road until someone told them to 'pull their yolk out' and drive to a Shell garage. But the yolk was actually on the town planners who ended up with co*k ups and down the new road. And when a local reporter asked them for their view on the whole matter, they replied 'Fowl!'.  First to go were the 'battery' hens for fear that they would try and 'start something' ..... their eggs were laid 'to rest' until someone broke in an poached them while the others scrambled. And all for chickenfeed!\nEggsciting?   Eggshilerating?  Eggasperating? And did they give them free range?  Or simply feathering their own nests?  Any for an omelette?

emm im not nobody im somebody but i hope dis helps... I know its quite long imma im sure ull find it real helpful. GL\n\nEggs have gotten a bad rap from the anti-egg crowd in recent years. I'd be a rich person if I had a nickel every time I heard someone spout anti-egg propaganda that eating eggs raises your serum cholesterol level. This diet shows how you can lose fat and lower your cholesterol at the same time. Actually, cholesterol is a type of fat and with this diet you will lose that kind of fat as well as regular fat.\n\nHOW IT WORKS\n\nThe Egg Diet is a low carbohydrate diet that works by nutritional fasting. Nutritional fasting is where you cease eating certain, but not all, nutrients. In this diet, the only nutrients that we cannot consume are carbohydrates. Carbohydrates are the fuel for fat cells. By eating unlimited quantities of eggs, steak, cheese, and other foods that are low or void of carbohydrates, we can starve ourselves of fat fuel.\n\nNormally, when you eat carbohydrates, they are reduced to a simple sugar called glucose. In addition to your fat cells, all the other cells in your body also burn glucose. Excess glucose that is not used by the other cells is converted to fat and stored in the fat cells. When you don't eat enough carbohydrates to keep all your normal non-fat cells happy, your body has no choice but to start pulling from its fat reserves and converting the fat back into glucose. The important thing to remember is that this happens even if you have been stuffing yourself full of steak, cheese and eggs. Knowing this, we can lose fat while eating all we want of low carbohydrate foods.\n\nNormally, a person's diet is extremely high in carbohydrates (sugars and starches) and other nutrients. We more or less consume a balanced diet every day consisting of the four basic food groups - meat, milk, bread, and fruits and vegetables. While a balanced meal is a very nutritious meal, it is not acceptable for dieting. It is a long standing joke that pizza is a balanced meal. It contains all four food groups - the crust (bread), pepperoni (meat), cheese (milk), and tomato sauce (vegetable). However, if you were to just eat pizza all the time, your waist would swell up like a water balloon in no time at all. The part of the pizza that makes you fat is the crust. There is no other ingredient that does this.

To teach about the importance of minerals put a egg shell ( has calcium like bones) inside a cup with vinegar and see it go limp.\nChildren loves it and can see the importance of minerals in bone formation\nAbout carbs the best way is to bring a Cookie jar and wile they eat you tell them about energy.

Heh - I wouldn't recommend that.  My mom did it a long time ago, when she was in a bet with some other women on whoever could lose the most weight in a given amount of time.  She won - but had to spend all the money on Preparation H because she had such bad tummy-related side effects.

Hmmm well eating ballons isn't that healthy no matter what thhy are coated with, just beacuse of the material they are made out.  But other than that there should be no other effects, talk to a doctor if you get any other symptoms though!

She, most likely, did get the shells off the sea shore.  \nShe is a real entrepreneur.  \nThe shells were from a public beach actually laying in the front where the waves crash (you can't own the ocean, correct?) or she could be a diver and get them from the bottom of the ocean only so far out.  \nThe money received is not for the sea shells but yet for her time to collect the sea shells for YOU.  \nYou are paying her for the convenience.  The shells are all washed for you & ready to be used.\n\nIt's kind of like the people on ebay who sell the coupons they clipped from the Sunday newspapers.  http://cgi.ebay.com/100-Manufacturers-Grocery-Coupons-Plus-GREAT-BONUS_W0QQitemZ5658842714QQcategoryZ57735QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem  or http://cgi.ebay.com/10-1-off-ThermaCare-Heat-Wraps-health-grocery-coupon_W0QQitemZ5659660420QQcategoryZ57735QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem  "You are not bidding on the coupons, you are bidding on my TIME to clip, sort, and send these coupons to you!"\n\nDon't worry about it, just think of how we can come up with something like this for us...

You know how you give them grit to eat to help them digest their food? Well see if you can get oyster grit instead. Its made of oyster shell so is rich in calcium and can help avoid this.\nYou can also feed them snails, as long as you don't use slug pellets in your garden. Young snails are great for chickens; the body is protein and the shell is calcium. The chickens soon learn how to eat them. \nFeeding them eggshell is generally avoided, because they can learn to eat their own eggs. If you want to feed the eggshells back to them then crush them up fine and mix in with the feed.

LEAN MEATS and TONS of VEGGIES WILL DO THE TRICK I PROMISE!!!\nBreakfast: eggwhites, WHOLE GRAIN TOAST(1 slice) & veggies mixed into your eggwhites\nLunch: Salad with lean protein such as fish or chicken with salad dressing on side to dip your FORK in before spearing your food, or use mustard as a salad dressing\nDinner: Salad with lean protien and steamed veggies along side, these veggies can be grilled too, but not sauteed or fried in butter or oils! \nBUt you do need some fat in your life so the only oils I would reccomend are FLAX SEED OIL(do not heat it), OLIVE OIL & MACADAMIA NUT OIL...
