I did not refer to it as black seed, I referred to it as black cumin and included the scientific name of the correct form of black cumin I was writig about, Nigella sativa. Black Cumin is sometimes referred to as black seed, and also variously referred to as Black Caraway, Black Cumin, Damascena, Devil in-the-bush, Fennel flower, Melanthion, Nutmeg Flower, Roman Coriander, and Wild Onion Seed.
Are you saying that the reference to the Natural News story may not be accurate because they were talking about a different black seed? My post is intended to be about black cumin aka Nigella sativa.
