Calcium carbonate lowers the acidity, it acts as a "buffer". It is very useful if you're wort is starting at low PH as this will drop further when the yeast get to work. I use it regularly in wine making as you're dealing with lower PH (more acidic) must. The reason I use calcium carbonate is because it doesn't add a salty taste to the end product (in fact it helps to prevent the yeast from producing "off" flavours, of which some could be the ones you've mentioned, by buffering the PH level.).

The egg came before the chicken. The first animal to lay a chicken egg wasn't quite a chicken.
The chicken and egg…came together! You could call it a draw
