Marshall, Here is the URL that V sent which is posted below your post: http://store.yahoo.com/herbal-remedies-usa/diead6oz.html That site charges $6.95 for 6 oz of DE Food Grade + S&H which is somewhere around $1.50/oz. THAT is where I got the price. Bill Keen

I haven't seen any evidence of anything wrong after using the fs source so I'll continue using it Why do you think there would be anything wrong with it? They would be selling food grade, not the swimming pool stuff. I don't mind giving some away for flea powder to my neighbors that way and it certainly hasn't hurt my dogs and cats. THis is the first that I've even heard of food grade DE. One of the reference sites says that if you have eaten anything made with wheat flour you have eaten DE. Apparently because it is used an an insecticide in the grain storage facilities. At $1.50/oz I seriously doubt that they are using food grade for a silo of grain. Where did you get that absurd price? Food grade DE sells for about $2.50 a pound, not $1.50 and ounce. http://www.gardenharvestsupply.com/de_permaguard.aspx so adding about .1% of that to a pound of flour would only cost about .2 cents. Marshall I'm going to have to read a lot more to find out just when/where/why the DE is heated and how much. Thanks, Bill Keen V <[email protected]> wrote: Hi Bill, I got food grade DE here at this site. http://store.yahoo.com/herbal-remedies-usa/diead6oz.html
