Question: is dandelion and burdock the same as root beer

Answer: No, Dandelion and burdock shares a historical origin with a number of drinks originally made from lightly fermented root extracts, such as root beer and sarsaparilla, supposedly as a health benefit. One story regarding its origin is that in the 13th Century St. Thomas Aquinas, after a hard night's praying, stumbled out in the dawn and, ``trusting in God to Provide'' brewed a concoction from the first two plants he encountered.
