The headline is broadly defensible, but the qualifications matter. Effect sizes vary by population, the strongest claims rest on shorter trials, and credible voices push back on how it's typically framed.

“I do have some concerns that unless we are doing a nose to tail carnivore diet people may actually get deficient in calcium and so this is an interesting concept and one of the reasons that I have advocated for people to eat either bone meal or eggshells”
“if we're not doing dairy the best sources of calcium our bones no surprise there if we're eating a bone from an animal it's going to give us the things we need to make bones in humans the other part of the equation is eggshells which i think is great because it makes you feel like a dinosaur or some sort of a monster people always kind of look funny at me when I'm talking about eating eggshells but they're a good source of calcium as well”
