FROM THE PIONEER SECTION OF THE EG WHITE CD ROM:
“Cheese is not a suitable food for man. While it contains desirable food elements these have associated with them undesirable substances which are irritating, and produce a feverish state of the system.” {May 30, 1909 WASe, GCB 217.19}
“We may take FOOD THAT IS ALREADY POISONOUS, SUCH AS CHEESE, for instance. A very small piece of CHEESE contains millions of germs and germ poisons. It is simply decayed milk.” {February 11, 1895 N/A, GCB 92.1}
“CHEESE always contains germs in great numbers. When six weeks old, a bit of CHEESE as large as grain of wheat contains thousands of germs. The germs increase as the cheese becomes older.” {February 15, 1895 N/A, GCB 170.9}
“The capabilities of the body to destroy germs are limited; and when that limit is passed, we fall a prey to disease. Now if we persist in taking in food and drink that are filled with germs, such as meat and CHEESE and unsterilized milk and butter may we not expect that when a severe strain is brought upon us, or when some contagious disease is prevalent, the body will be so overtaxed that we shall not be able to resist an attack? If the antiseptic powers of our bodies are taxed all the time to their utmost capacity, we are entirely unprepared for an emergency. The body can offer little or no resistance to disease.” {February 17, 1895 N/A, GCB 184.1}
‘But says one, “I have eaten CHEESE all my life, and it never hurt me.” If you have not been able to notice the injurious effects of it, it is because your liver has been able to destroy the poison. These injurious practices may sometimes be carried on for a long time, but there comes a time by and by when the over-worked system fails, and the health is gone.” {February 11, 1895 N/A, GCB 92.2}
“CHEESE is always more or less difficult of digestion, besides being frequently colored by poisonous substances, as annato, arsenic, etc. …” {1868 JNL, HBH 190.6}
“No, thank you, I'll take no CHEESE. I like it, but it does not like me.” How often we hear people talk so about some article of food or another! Things that please the palate do not suit the stomach, and to eat them means the pain and distress of a sharp indigestion…” {August 24, 1903 EJW, BEST 414.2}
“Prosecuting Attorney Richolson has received a letter from a leading firm of wholesale cheese dealers, calling his attention to the vast amount of adulteration by the cheese manufacturers. The letter states that there are 100 or more cheese manufacturers in this State who are making adulterated cheese, filled with lard, neutral, cotton seed, and other oils. The complaint is made that the market is being flooded with this stuff, which is made in close imitation of the best creamery and dairy products.” {October 26, 1888 EJW, SITI 656.20}
“A man once came to me, and said: If the stomach has to disinfect the food, why not eat cheese, if you have plenty of gastric juice to disinfect it with? But if the stomach makes gastric juice to render wholesome, ordinary food, it ought not to have the extra burden of unwholesome food; and if this be long continued, of course the stomach will thereby be weakened.” {February 19, 1897 N/A, GCDB 93.4}
“The Sabbath is not a day in which we can talk about farms, butter, and CHEESE, and many other worldly things. Brethren and sisters, shall we honor God by not speaking our own words on his holy day?” {1864 DTB, SLH 134.3}
SISTER WHITE DIDN’T USE CHEESE AS FOOD FOR YEARS:
“In regard to CHEESE, I am now quite sure we have not purchased or placed on our table cheese for years. We never think of making cheese an article of diet, much less of buying it.” (CD 370.1)
“Our fare is simple and wholesome. We have on our table no butter, no meat, no CHEESE, no greasy mixtures of food…” (CD 491.1)
EDUCATE AND SHOW THE EVILS OF USING SUCH FOOD AS THIS:
“The question whether we shall eat butter, meat, or CHEESE, is not to be presented to anyone as a test, but we are to educate and to show the evils of the things that are objectionable…” {3SM 287.1}
WHY SOME OF GOD’S PEOPLE STILL EAT IT:
“…Your responsible men in the Office are not reformers. They eat meat, butter, CHEESE and rich pie and cake…” (PH011 76.1)
WHAT HAPPENED WHEN SERVED AT CAMPMEETING:
“Years ago I had a testimony of reproof for the managers in our camp meetings bringing upon the ground and selling to our people CHEESE and other hurtful things...” {CD 329.1}
“When we commenced the camp meeting in Nora, Illinois, I felt it my duty to make some remarks in reference to their eating. I related the unfortunate experience of some at Marion, and told them I charged it to unnecessary preparations made for the meeting… Some brought CHEESE to the meeting, and ate it; although new, it was altogether too strong for the stomach, and should never be introduced into it. It was decided that at a certain camp meeting, CHEESE should not be sold to those on the ground; but on coming to the ground, Doctor Kellogg found to his surprise that a large quantity of CHEESE had been purchased for sale at the grocery. He and some others objected to this, but those in charge of the grocery said that the cheese had been bought with the consent of Brother -----, and that they could not afford to lose the money invested in it. Upon this, Doctor Kellogg asked the price of the CHEESE, and bought the whole of it from them. He had traced the matter from cause to effect, and knew that some foods generally thought to be wholesome, were very injurious.” (CD 369.2-.3)
“The Sabbath is not a day in which we can talk about farms, butter, and CHEESE, and many other worldly things. Brethren and sisters, shall we honor God by not speaking our own words on his holy day? {1864 DTB, SLH 134.3}

“If people drank only at the right time, there would be far less drinking of substances that are injurious; for IT is a fact that the greater portion of the tea, coffee, CHOCOLATE, etc., which ought never to be drunk…” {August 24, 1899 EJW, PTUK 541.8}
“But you drink cocoa and chocolate?” {September 20, 1900 EJW, PTUK 608.8}
No; I have no use for them; for while they contain a little food, they contain more that is injurious.” {September 20, 1900 EJW, PTUK 608.9}
“The chief inspector of foods and drugs for the county of Durham says that many cheap chocolate sweetmeats contain paraffin wax, which has a tendency when eaten to bring on appendicitis. The absolutely safe way is never to eat composite things of any kind...” {October 16, 1902 EJW, PTUK 669.2}

- In the tropical regions in which it grows and while fermenting, chocolate is ravaged with insects, rodents, and small animals and many types of contamination may occur.
- Finally, in a booklet published by the United States Department of Health, Education and Welfare entitled, “The Food Defect Action Levels,” a specifications listing of “current” levels for natural or unavoidable defects in food “lists the natural defect levels in chocolate in the form of “insects, rodent, and other natural contaminants” that are allowable by the Food and Drug Administration. Allowed in Chocolate and chocolate liquor used in the manufacture of such products as chocolate bars, up to 120 insect fragments per cup or two, and rodent hairs per cup.
- Four percent of cocoa beans may be infested with insects and still carry the blessing of the FDA. Visible or solid animal excreta must not exceed 10 milligrams per pound. For chocolate powder or pressed cakes, there must not be more than 75 insect fragments in 3 T. of powder.
USE CAROB IN THE PLACE OF CHOCOLATE!!!
