My question is, is food grade diatomaceous the same grade as  is used for 
feeding animals and livestock?  I read not to use the  aquarium or pool 
filter grade but don't know if there is a differentiation  between human food 
and 
livestock food grade and of course the local feed shops  have told me they 
are not allowed to say it is food grade.
 
Thanks for any help you can give.

Hi PT, I take DE,about a tsp or so about 3 times a  week.  { I'm not on a 
regular schedule & I'm one of those "a pinch  & about this much cooks }  But 
I am particular about the quality of the  pinch & amount... This is where I 
get my DE. There is a lot of good info. on  the site.. Lois--_Diatomaceous
