Flax & Linseed Oil
Is there a difference in Flax Seed oil and Linseed oil? If so, what? I did a search and it looks as if they both have the same botanical name. I've used the Linseed oil when I painted but I've had some people ask me for the Linseed Oil to use in a cancer recipe mixed with cottage cheese. Help! -Jane

No! They are not the same thing, although they both come from flax. Linseed oil is poison. Flax Seed Oil is not. I am not sure why. It has something to do with the way they are processed. -Duane |
