Ellen Gould White über: "Which food combinations should be avoided?"

It is recommended not to combine fruit and vegetables in the same meal, as this can lead to stomach acidity and mental sluggishness, especially with weak digestion. Likewise, the combined use of milk and abundant sugar should be avoided, because this combination causes fermentation in the stomach and burdens the system. In addition, an excessive variety of different foods at the same time should be avoided to prevent digestive disturbances and a clouding of the mind.

Separation of Fruit and Vegetables

»It is not good to eat fruit and vegetables at the same meal. When digestion is weak, using both often causes discomfort and the inability to engage in mental effort. It is better to take fruit at one meal and vegetables at another.«

Variety of Foods per Meal

»When several types of foods are eaten at the same meal, digestive disturbance is often the result. Some foods do not get along with other foods. A disturbance is caused by unsuitable food combinations, fermentation sets in, the blood becomes contaminated and the brain is confused.«
