ACCORDING TO GOD THROUGH SISTER WHITE:
“There are those who try to abstain from what is declared to be harmful. They FAIL to supply the system with proper nourishment, and as a consequence become weak and unable to work. Thus, health reform is brought to disrepute. The work we have tried to build up solidly is confused with strange things that God has not required. The energies of the church are crippled.” {CD 206.2}
“In the study of hygiene, students should be taught the nutrient value of different foods. The effect of a concentrated and stimulating diet, also of foods deficient in the elements of nutrition, should be made plain. Tea and coffee, fine-flour bread, pickles, COARSE VEGETABLES, candies, condiments, and pastries FAIL OF SUPPLYING PROPER NUTRIMENT. MANY A STUDENT HAS BROKEN DOWN AS THE RESULT OF USING SUCH FOODS. Many a puny child, incapable of vigorous effort of mind or body, is THE VICTIM OF AN IMPOVERISHED DIET. Grains, fruits, nuts, and vegetables, in proper combination, contain all the elements of nutrition; and WHEN PROPERLY PREPARED they constitute the diet that best promotes both physical and mental strength.” {Ed 204.3}
“…Albumen of vegetable origin is BETTER when cooked…” {May 7, 1903 EJW, PTUK 301.8}
“A Scotchman is launching a new form of vegetarianism in Paris. Its members eat and drink nothing but uncooked vegetable foods and natural liquids.” {June 21, 1894 EJW, PTUK 398.13}
***Notice how in 1894, some Scotchman came up with the raw diet in food and drink. THIS DID NOT COME FROM ADVENTISTS. If this was the diet for us, God would have given Ellen White that counsel in 1863 when he gave her the health message.
HERE'S AN ARTICLE ON HOW VEGETABLES SHOULD BE COOKED:
http://chestofbooks.com/health/nutrition/Dietetics-4/Cooking-Of-Vegetables.html#.VQ9GQeGPG9d
HERE'S FROM DR. KELLOGG:
DIET FOR THE SICK.
Food for the sick should be nutritious, easy of digestion, and free from oily or fatty substances. The following articles should be religiously ab stained from: pork, fats, butter, salted or smoked meats, and in many cases, all kinds of meats, salt fish, and most kinds of fresh fish, lobsters, clams, and oysters, rich gravies, and greasy soups, mustard, pepper, spices of all kinds, vinegar, pickles, RAW VEGETABLES OF ALL KINDS, cheese, rich pastry and puddings, oily nuts, tea, coffee, condiments of every kind, rich preserves, hard boiled eggs, fried eggs, and fried food of all kinds, distilled and fermented liquors of every kind, and whatever else impairs or injures digestion. If the patient is suffering.
Note: Medical Science is now saying the same thing.
AND LOOK AT THIS QUOTE HE MAKES IN HIS BOOK
RE: DIARRHEA.
Medical writers give us seven varieties of this disease; but as such a division will only tend to confuse the mind of the nurse, the disease will be described as a unit.
CAUSE.—Overeating, and the use of improper food, such as unripe fruit, RAW VEGETABLES, sausage, pork, veal, or excessive quantities of fresh meat of any kind.
Something that is important to know is that 70-80% of our immune system is in our G.I. (digestive) tract.
If we eat unhealthful foods, as raw vegetables are, we are weakening our immune system.
“HE WHO IS CONVERTED FROM ERRORS IN EATING, drinking, and dressing is being prepared to hear and receive the truth into a good and willing heart...” (CH 221.4)
Once again, MEDICAL SCIENCE CONFIRMS THAT WHICH WAS WRITTEN OVER 100+ YEARS AGO IN THE SPIRIT OF PROPHECY...Coarse Vegetables should be cooked and not eaten raw.
Eating raw fruits is good…MEDICAL SCIENCE AND OTHER EXPERTS are now saying we need to be cooking coarse (hard crunchy) vegetables to get the proper nutrients, and raw vegetables steals iodine from the body and the enzyme is not released for proper mineral absorption….so it is BEST to cook them.

WHAT'S WRONG WITH RAW VEGETABLES?
THEY:
- Mess with Digestion
- Don't have the released enzymes necessary for food break down
- Produce a weakness in the system
- Steal Iodine and other minerals that are crucial for health
- Cause Diarrhea
- AND THE LIST GOES ON
HERE ARE QUOTES FROM 3 DIFFERENT PEOPLE (Sister White, Dr. Kellogg, and J.H. Kellogg,'s Wife, Ella Kellogg) STATING THAT COARSE (Raw) VEGETABLES ARE POISON TO THE SYSTEM:
TO LEARN HOW TO COOK VEGETABLES PROPERLY, READ THE FOLLOWING:
“During the last seven months we have been at home but about four weeks. In our travels we have sat at many different tables, from Iowa to Maine. Some whom we have visited live up to the best light they have. Others, who have the same opportunities of learning to live healthfully and well, have hardly taken the first steps in reform. They will tell you that they do not know how to cook in this new way. But they are without excuse in this matter of cooking; for in the work, HOW TO LIVE, are many excellent recipes, and this work is within the reach of all.
“I do not say that the system of cookery taught in that book is perfect. I may soon furnish a small work more to my mind in some respects. But HOW TO LIVE TEACHES COOKERY ALMOST INFINITELY IN ADVANCE OF WHAT THE TRAVELER WILL OFTEN MEET, EVEN AMONG SOME SEVENTH-DAY ADVENTISTS.” {1T 680.2}

- ‘Science in the Kitchen’ – Pages 228-270
“Vegetables should be cooked until they are perfectly tender but not overdone. Many cooks spoil their vegetables by cooking them too long, while quite as many more serve them in an underdone state to preserve their form. Either plan makes them less palatable, and likely to be indigestible.” (Ella Kellogg/Science in the Kitchen)
