Ellen Gould White über: "What does Ellen White specifically say about the use of free fats and oils?"
Answer
Ellen White advises preparing foods without free fats or lard and specifically recommends avoiding animal fats and butter. Instead, she emphasizes that oil in its natural form, such as in olives or nuts, is much more digestible and has healing effects on the stomach. While she warns against fatty, fried foods, she acknowledges the importance of a balanced diet and advises that extreme restrictions be made thoughtfully and at the appropriate time.
Olives as a Healthy Fat Source
Olives can be prepared in such a way that they can be eaten at every meal with good results. The benefits sought through the use of butter can be achieved by eating properly prepared olives. The oil in olives relieves constipation, and for the exhausted as well as those with inflamed, irritated stomachs it is better than any medicine. As a food, it is superior to any oil that comes secondhand from animals.
Abstaining from Butter and Fat in Preparation
Butter is less harmful when eaten on cold bread than when used for cooking; but generally it is better to avoid it altogether. ... Eat regularly and eat only foods that are free of fat [grease].
Warning Against Fried Foods
We do not consider fried potatoes to be healthy, as their preparation involves more or less fat or butter. Good baked or boiled potatoes, served with cream and a pinch of salt, are the healthiest.
Holistic View of Nutrition
An isolated statement should not be used on its own, so that a part is not taken for the whole. ... Grains and fruits, prepared without fat and in as natural a state as possible, should be the food for the tables of all who claim to be preparing for the Second Coming.
