Thanks guys for your insight! I appreciate your warnings... I know there's been a lot of stuff written about DE for and against it.
Just out of curiosity, could you take a look at this one:
Diatomaceous Earth General Fact Sheet
It claims that
"There are thousands of non-pesticide products that contain diatomaceous earth. These include skin care products, toothpastes, foods, beverages, medicines, rubbers, paints, and water filters. The Food & Drug Administration lists diatomaceous earth as "Generally Recognized as Safe". "Food grade" diatomaceous earth products are purified. They may be used as anticaking materials in feed, or as clarifiers for wine and beer."
What are your thoughts about the facts they've provided?
In any case, I got sucked into this other science forum and read a lot about what others think about it here:
Diatomaceous earth, food grade, is this really so good , or dangerous ?
Maybe I will stick to using it to clean the home of parasites (if needed) rather than feeding my babies (until it's better proven later on)...
