What does Ellen White write about...
Adventistische Schriften über: "How many times per week should a young person eat eggs?"
Answer
The provided documents do not specify an exact number of times per week that a young person should consume eggs. However, it is emphasized that they should not be discarded completely, as they contain medicinal properties that help counteract toxins and are necessary when there are no other foods available to nourish the system.
It is warned that the use of eggs should be moderate and avoided in cases where there are sensual tendencies or strong passions, as they can have a stimulating effect. The general recommendation is to avoid extremes in the health reform and ensure that they come from healthy and well‑cared‑for birds.
The Use of Eggs and Moderation
»The use of eggs from chickens that are well cared for and properly fed should not be considered a violation of principles.... Eggs contain properties that are medicinal agents to counteract toxins. And although warnings have been given against the use of these diet items in families where children were addicted to self‑abusive habits; however, we should not consider using eggs a denial of principles... The Lord desires His people to be solid in every point of the health reform, but we should not go to extremes.«
Warning About Excessive and Stimulating Use
»It is true that people who consume excess meat and whose animal passions are strong need to avoid the use of stimulating foods. Especially in families of children who indulge in sensual habits, eggs should not be used. But in the case of persons whose blood‑producing organs are weak... milk and eggs should not be discarded entirely. However, great care must be taken to obtain eggs from healthy birds... and the eggs should be cooked in a way that makes them more easily digestible.«
Avoiding Extremes in the Diet
»Do not go to extremes regarding the health reform... When you see that you are physically weakening, it is essential to make changes, and immediately. Put into your diet something that you have left out. It is your duty to do this. Obtain eggs from healthy birds... This will provide what is necessary for your system... While I would discard animal meat as harmful, something less objectionable can be used, and that is found in eggs.«

Why I built EGW Vision
Hello, I am Stephan Krol. I started this Ellen White website to make the writings of Ellen G. White and the Adventist pioneers easier to access for everyone.
EGW Vision helps you find topics, statements, and quotes faster, especially when many original sources are not yet fully available in your language. The tool searches semantically, groups relevant content by topic, and presents matching results as clearly as possible in your language.
My hope is that this tool supports personal Bible study, strengthens trust in the original sources, and helps more people discover the message of these writings with clarity, depth, and joy.
