I was wondering is eating chalk the same thing as eating tums (calcium carbonate)?

Chalk vs Tums (calcium carbonate): Tums (Calcium Carbonate) can help reduce symptoms from indigestion, stomach upset & heart burn. Chalk is a form of Calcium Carbonate that is primarily use as paper filler. I don't recommend eating chalk.
