The free use of sugar in any form tends to clog the system, and is not unfrequently a cause of disease. {CTBH 56.4} I frequently sit down to the tables of the brethren and sisters, and see that they use a great amount of milk and sugar. These clog the system, irritate the digestive organs, and affect the brain. Anything that hinders the active motion of the living machinery, affects the brain very directly. AND FROM THE LIGHT GIVEN ME, SUGAR, WHEN LARGELY USED, IS MORE INJURIOUS THAN MEAT. {CD 328.2} We should not be prevailed upon to take anything into the mouth that will bring the body into an unhealthy condition, no matter how much we like it. Why?--Because we are Gods property. You have a crown to win, a heaven to gain, and a hell to shun. Then for Christs sake, I ask you, Will you have the light shine before you in clear and distinct rays, and then turn away from it and say, I love this, and I love that? God calls upon every one of you to begin to plan, to cooperate with God in His great care and love, to elevate, ennoble, and sanctify the whole soul, body, and spirit, that we may be workers together with God. . . . R. & H., Jan. 7, 1902 {CD 328.3}
