 God
instructed what the best diet for our health is. He gave His diet plan
when He created Adam and Eve.
They were to eat fruits, grains, and nuts. Later other foods were given. Leviticus 11 discusses the kinds God says are best when one eats meat. |
 We
are in the very last days of this earth. Soon the door of probation will
close. Those who want to obey and are doing that with God's help, will be
called holy. Those who are angry at God's advise and commands will be
called unrighteous will stay that way. Suggestions for health are a
treasure to me. They show me God is tender like a parent. |
 In
the last days disease causes these foods to be dangerous. The best health
insurance is to avoid all animal products and follow God's
recommendations. You can find a list, if you want to know these things. I
have written it at the end of this page.
I personally want to know it all. I do not want God to leave out one detail that I need. I have always tried to follow these rules and fed my children with the finest foods. I don't want any food inside of me that my dear Friend Jesus says will shorten my life or decrease my brain abilities or my strength or happiness.

 Genesis
3:1 We may eat of the fruit of the trees of the garden |
| In mercy, after the flood foods were
given which shortened the lives of people who used to live almost 1,000
years. After the flood, there was a shortage of plants producing items to
eat. At that time God told them what they should eat. Genesis 9:3 Every moving thing that liveth shall be meat for you; even as the green herb have I given you all things. 9:4 But flesh with the life thereof, [which is] the blood thereof, shall ye not eat. In Leviticus 11, God said not to eat or touch the flesh of pigs, pork, or swine. |
| Lentils were eaten by Isaac's sons.
Genesis 25:34 Then Jacob gave Esau bread and pottage of lentiles; and he did eat and drink, and rose up, and went his way: thus Esau despised [his] birthright. |
 A
special diet was given to the mother of Samson. She never ate anything of
the grape vine. She followed the wisdom of Leviticus 11 and did all she
could to raise this man to love God. This strong man never drank any
alcohol. Poor Samson did not have control over his passions. He turned out
to be a judge for many years but he had a big problem with his lust. His
body was real strong because of God's blessing. Yet he had to learn a very
sad lesson. That story does not teach about diet so it is included in
another section.
Judges 13:12 And Manoah said, Now let thy words come to pass. How shall we order the child, and [how] shall we do unto him? |
 With
God's strength, Samson pulled the house down where there was a great party
going on to make fun of him and the God of heaven. |
 Daniel, in the Bible, had an excellent diet which made the frontal lobe of his brain
work very well. In fact he excelled to the very top of all the brightest in the
world center at Babylon. He and his three friends had been carefully raised by
Godly parents. Since God is the creator of our bodies, He has designed a diet
and seven other health laws that makes for the brightest brain function. By
following these eight basic health laws, and obeying God's commandments, we are
promised that we can excel in learning and abilities in wisdom. Beyond that we
are even promised a link into the experience and education of angels.
When we pray for wisdom, God will grant it. James 1:5. We need brains that can make quick intelligent decisions especially in this age of increased technology. |

Tensing Sherpa, the conqueror of Mount Everest, has said that the secret behind the energy and strength of the Sherpas is that they are vegetarians. Many international players and athletes are also renouncing flesh-foods now and turning to vegetarianism. Several researchers have found that vegetarians are more energetic, hard working and capable of lifting greater weight. They are peace loving ,and of happy nature. They can exercise better control on their hunger and can undertake a fast for a longer period. Studies carried out in Japan have revealed that vegetarians not only remain healthy and disease-immune but also have greater stamina, longer life span and sharper intellects. |

| God in mercy took the time to tell His servants the prophets what is best for our food. He did this because we are decreasing in strength as this world ages. It is hard to resist temptation. Those who are filled with road rage against the ones careful to obey God's advice, are the ones warring against God. Be brave and eat the way God says is the best. |
| It is a well known fact
that disease is transmitted to children by use of milk, cheese, eggs, meat
and spices.
Diseases such as diabetes, leukemia, other cancers, and salmonella poisoning, are a result of what has been fed our children. The very best health insurance against suffering is to follow our kind advice from the King of the Universe who can see what we cannot even see with a microscope. It is simple obedience following His word that will bring us health. |
| One example of disease increasing in animal products is the mad cow disease or BSE or CJD. This disease is a very horrible disease in which the brain, simply stated, turns to mush and the person looses ability to function as a normal human. They become confused and then get jerking spasms. Eventually they cannot even recognize their own family members. It is a spongiform disease. It is an encephalopathy. The animals affected by mad cow disease happens from a germ that is not a virus or bacteria. It is finding its way into our food. Cats have gotten the disease from their cat food. (mad cow.org) is a web site with details of known cases. The last 10 years have been full of reports on these cases. Each year there is an increase. The disease is passed from cow to calf. Many animals are infected. It is also found in pigs, monkeys, marmosets, puma, cheeta. This has serious implications for humans. Two dairy farmers caring for infected cattle, died of the disease. |
| "Let the diet reform be
progressive. Let the people be taught how to prepare food without the use of milk or butter. Tell them that the time will soon come when there will be no safety in using eggs, milk, cream, or butter, because disease in animals is increasing in proportion to the increase of wickedness among men. The time is near when, because of the iniquity of the fallen race, the whole animal creation will groan under the diseases that curse our earth." {CD 349.1} God will give His people ability and tact to prepare wholesome food without these things. Let our people discard all unwholesome recipes. |
| "God has furnished man with abundant means for the gratification of an unperverted appetite. He has spread before him the products of the earth, -- a bountiful variety of food that is palatable to the taste and nutritious to the system. Of these our benevolent heavenly Father says we may freely eat. Fruits, grains, and vegetables, prepared in a simple way, free from spice and grease of all kinds, make, with milk or cream, the most healthful diet. They impart nourishment to the body, and give a power of endurance and a vigor of intellect that are not produced by a stimulating diet." {CTBH 47.1} Christian Temperance and Bible Hygiene, by Ellen White |
| "It would have been enough for such a mind to know that God had deigned to notice the diet and dress of his people; and how careful and circumspect would have been your words, lest you should be found fighting against God. Any thing that is of sufficient importance for God to notice, however small it may appear to those whose hearts are lifted up in pride, should at least call for respectful silence." by Ellen White |

The best diet does not have these items. Our Kind King has taken time to tell us foods which harm us. God's list of items not healthful in the end of time: meat, eggs, milk baking soda* quotes listed below spices: *burned coffee, tea grounds, cinnamon, cloves, and spices- Child Guidance 382 caffeine chocolate cheese* quotes below Vinegar * Quotes below (Jesus refused it while on the cross. He did not want to cloud His reasoning) spices, mince pies, pickles* quotes below High amounts of sugar are worse than meat in causing disease* Ice cream-causes formation of alcohol. Milk + Sugar |
| Tea and Coffee Are Contributing Factors.-- Through the intemperance begun at home, the digestive organs first become weakened, and soon ordinary food does not satisfy the appetite. Unhealthy conditions are established, and there is a craving for more stimulating food. Tea and coffee produce an immediate effect. Under the influence of these poisons the nervous system is excited; and in some cases, for the time being, the intellect seems to be invigorated, the imagination more vivid. Because these stimulants produce such agreeable results, many conclude that they really need them; but there is always a reaction. The nervous system has borrowed power from its future resources for present use, and all this temporary invigoration is followed by a corresponding depression. The suddenness of the relief obtained from tea and coffee is an evidence that what seems to be strength is only nervous excitement, and consequently must be an injury to the system. {CG 403.2} Child Guidance |
| Many a mother sets a table that is a snare to her family. Flesh-meats, butter, cheese, rich pastry, spiced foods, and condiments are freely partaken of by both old and young. These things do their work in deranging the stomach, exciting the nerves, and enfeebling the intellect. The blood-making organs cannot convert such things into good blood. The grease cooked in the food renders it difficult of digestion. The effect of cheese is deleterious. {CTBH 46.3}CTBH - Christian Temperance and Bible Hygiene (1890) |
| Children are allowed to eat flesh meats, spices, butter, cheese, pork, rich pastry, and condiments generally. They are also allowed to eat irregularly and between meals of unhealthful food. These things do their work of deranging the stomach, exciting the nerves to unnatural action, and enfeebling the intellect. Parents do not realize that they are sowing the seed which will bring forth disease and death. Counsels on Diet and Foods p. 350 |
| Cheese should never be introduced into the stomach. {CD 368.4} |
| Baking Soda
The use of soda or baking powder in breadmaking is harmful and unnecessary. Soda causes inflammation of the stomach and often poisons the entire system. Many housewives think that they cannot make good bread without soda, but this is an error. If they would take the trouble to learn better methods, their bread would be more wholesome, and, to a natural taste, it would be more palatable. Hot biscuit raised with soda or baking powder should never appear upon our tables. Such compounds are unfit to enter the stomach. Hot raised bread of any kind is difficult of digestion. CD 319 |
| A bottle of chow-chow, fiery with mustard and pungent with spices, was handed her, from which she helped herself freely. The child was proverbial for her nervousness and irritability of temper, and these fiery condiments were well calculated to produce such a condition. The oldest child thought he could not eat a meal without meat, and showed great dissatisfaction, and even disrespect, if it was not provided for him. The mother had indulged him in his likes and dislikes till she had become little better than a slave to his caprices. The lad had not been provided with work, and he spent the greater portion of his time in reading that which was useless or worse than useless. He complained almost constantly of headache, and had no relish for simple food. {CE 163.3} |

| ...salads are prepared with oil and vinegar, fermentation takes place in the stomach, and the food does not digest, but decays or putrefies; as a consequence, the blood is not nourished, but becomes filled with impurities, and liver and kidney difficulties appear. Counsels on Diets and foods 345 by Ellen White |
| "They gave Me also gall for My meat; and in My thirst they gave Me vinegar to drink." Ps. 69:20, 21. To those who suffered death by the cross, it was permitted to give a stupefying potion, to deaden the sense of pain. This was offered to Jesus; but when He had tasted it, He refused it. He would receive nothing that could becloud His mind. His faith must keep fast hold upon God. This was His only strength. To becloud His senses would give Satan an advantage." {DA 746.2} Desire of Ages by Ellen White |
| But the sugar and milk combined are liable to cause fermentation in the stomach, and are thus harmful. The free use of sugar in any form tends to clog the system, and is not unfrequently a cause of di |
