Ellen Gould White über: "harmful foods: sugar alcohol"
Answer
The consumption of sugar, especially in large amounts or in combination with milk, clogs the body's system, irritates the digestive organs, and directly impairs the brain. Alcoholic beverages, even those seemingly milder such as wine or cider, cloud the mind, destroy character, and arouse a desire for even stronger stimulants. An unhealthy diet often first creates the physical basis for addiction to intoxicating substances, because irritated digestive organs demand ever stronger stimuli.
