PIONEER WISDOM-4 DIET might be considered the corner- stone of the foundation upon which Ellen White based her health teachings, whose adoption has given members of the Seventh-day Adventist Church an average of seven years greater life ex- pectancy than their fellows. Here briefly are some of the high points of her nutritional instruction, which has been compiled in a book en- titled "Counsels on Diet and Foods": "For use in breadmaking, the superfine Warburton as it was before the 1934 flood.

It is a frequent cause of constipation and other unhealthful con- ditions." "Far too much sugar is ordinarily used in food. Cakes, sweet puddings, pastries, jellies, jams, are active causes of in- digestion. Especially harmful are the custards and puddings in which milk, eggs, and sugar are the chief ingredients." "Grains, fruits, nuts, and vegetables constitute the diet chosen for us by our Creator. These foods, prepared in as simple and natural a manner as possible, are the most healthful and nourishing. They impart a strength, a power of en- durance, and a vigour of intellect, that are not offered by a more complex and stimulating diet." "Many die of diseases wholly due to meat eating, while the real cause is scarcely suspected by themselves or others." "There should not be a great variety at any one meal, for this encourages overeating and causes indigestion." "The meals should be varied. The same dishes, prepared in the same way, should not appear on the table meal after meal and day after day." "Regularity in eating is of vital im- portance. There should be a specified time for each meal." "Many indulge in the pernicious habit of eating just before sleeping hours.
