Counsels on Diet and Foods
Intoxication is just as really produced by wine, beer, and cider, as
by stronger drinks. The use of these drinks awakens the taste for those
that are stronger, and thus the liquor habit is established. Moderate
drinking is the school in which men are educated for the drunkard’s
career. Yet so insidious is the work of these milder stimulants, that
the highway to drunkenness is entered before the victim suspects his
danger.—

Part 5—Fruit Juice
Sweet Grape Juice
757. The pure juice of the grape, free from fermentation, is a
wholesome drink. But many of the alcoholic drinks which are now
so largely consumed contain death-dealing potions. Those who par-
take of them are often maddened, bereft of their reason. Under their

deadly influence men commit crimes of violence and often murder.—
Manuscript 126, 1903
Beneficial to Health
758. Make fruit the article of diet to be placed on your table, which
shall constitute the bill of fare. The juices of fruit, mingled with bread,
will be highly enjoyed. Good, ripe, undecayed fruit is a thing we
should thank the Lord for, because it is beneficial to health.—
