Silver is plus one valent. If there existed a silver dioxide it would require silver to be plus four valent. There is no such thing as silver dioxide. I suspect a misprint slipped in someplace and the actual chemical is colloidal silicon dioxide which is a well known chemical and is FDA GRAS listed. It is also known to the state of California to be a carcinogen just like play box sand.
