Pie, Cake, Pastry and Puddings
301
The Youth’s Instructor, May 31, 1894 (Healthful Living, 92)
Many understand how to make different kinds of cakes, but cake
is not the best food to be placed upon the table. Sweet cakes, sweet
puddings, and custards will disorder the digestive organs; and why
should we tempt those who surround the table by placing such articles
before them?
The Ministry of Healing, 302
Far too much sugar is ordinarily used in food. Cakes, sweet pud-
dings, pastries, jellies, jams, are active causes of indigestion. Espe-
cially harmful are the custards and pudding in which milk, eggs, and
sugar are the chief ingredients. The free use of milk and sugar taken
together should be avoided.
Testimonies for the Church 9:153-154
Those who have received instruction regarding the evils of the
use of flesh-foods, tea, and coffee, and rich and unhealthful food
preparations, and who are determined to make a covenant with God by
sacrifice, will not continue to indulge their appetite for food that they
know to be unhealthful. God demands that the appetite be cleansed,
and that self-denial be practiced in regard to those things which are
not good. This is a work that will have to be done before His people
can stand before Him a perfected people.
Testimonies for the Church 7:135
And we should bear a clear testimony against the use of tea and
coffee. It is also well to discard rich desserts.
Testimonies for the Church 2:602
I am convinced that none need to make themselves sick preparing
for camp-meeting, if they observe the laws of health in their cooking.
If they make no cake or pies, but cook simple graham bread, and
depend on fruit, canned or dried, they need not get sick in preparing
for the meeting, and they need not be sick while at the meeting.
