Botany question: Do flaxseeds come from the same plant that is used to make linen? Posted: 25 Feb 2022 08:10 AM PST I am writing some content (for my job) about flaxseed oil supplements and I'm curious: According to Webster's flaxseeds are "... the small seed of flax (especially Linum usitatissimum) ..." Is this the same flax plant used to create linen? Or is there more than one type of flax plant? Thanks. submitted by /u/Euphoric-Structure13 [link] [comments]

Are there neutral germs? Posted: 25 Feb 2022 08:46 PM PST Most of the microbes I've heard about are either harmful whose lifecycles hurt the body or symbiotic who function with and help the body. Are there any that just… coexist?? without being attacked by our immune system? submitted by /u/carribean98 [link] [comments]
