Ellen Gould White über: "Which texts by Ellen G. White state that 'tendencies' or 'propensities' can be excluded or eliminated, rather than just overcome or controlled?"

The provided documents do not contain specific statements regarding the "exclusion" or "elimination" of "tendencies" or "propensities." The texts primarily focus on dietary guidelines, the history of health reform, and the general principle of bringing appetites and passions under the control of a sanctified conscience.

While the documents mention that the appetite for salt and sugar can be reduced through temperate use, they do not address the theological or psychological elimination of inherent tendencies or propensities as requested. Consequently, the provided sources do not offer a direct answer to your question.

Control of Appetites and Passions

»She it was who exalted the sacredness of the body and the necessity of bringing all the appetites and passions under the control of an enlightened conscience. Others emphasized science in health; to her it was left to impress the spiritual in the treatment of the temple of the body.«

Moderating the Appetite for Salt and Sugar

»The appetite can, and should, be brought to a very moderate use of both [sugar and salt]. In the case of salt, food with so reduced an amount that it would taste insipid to the one accustomed to the use of much salt, after a few weeks of very temperate use, will be painfully salty to the taste.«
