Testimony Studies on Diet and Foods
Testimonies for the Church 7:134
I have been instructed that the nut foods are often used unwisely,
that too large a proportion of nuts is used, that some nuts are not as
wholesome as others. Almonds are preferable to peanuts; but peanuts,
in limited quantities, may be used in connection with grains to make
nourishing and digestible food.
Letter B 135, 1902
Careful attention should be given to the proper use of nut foods.
Some kinds of nuts are not so wholesome as others. Do not reduce
the bill of fare to a few articles composed largely of nut foods. These
foods should not be used too freely. If they were used more sparingly
by some, the results would be more satisfactory. As combined in large
proportions with other articles in some of the recipes given, they make
the food so rich that the system can not properly assimilate it.
