Did we find out any more on milk alkali syndrome and eggshell, sounds like it maybe linked to excessive calcium intake. Wondering if something can balance oh level out?

I think excess calcium can be a problem if salt, magnesium, and especially K2 is inadequate (and if carb intake is too high relative to protein). Skim milk/low-fat milk and calcium supplements like eggshells can overload you with calcium, whereas whole milk comes with K2 (and probably other undiscovered nutrients) in the fat to protect against calcium overload. Unfortunately the fat does contain PUFA and is high in estrogen (even though it also has lots of progesterone).
