What does Ellen White write about...
Adventistische Schriften über: "Why is baking powder unhealthy when baking bread or for other purposes?"
Answer
According to the existing writings of Ellen G. White, the use of baking powder or soda when baking bread is harmful, as it causes inflammation of the stomach and can poison the entire organism. The chemical agents, according to the citations, attack the stomach lining and lead to digestive discomfort. It is emphasized that good bread is possible without these aids if one learns better methods.
Toxic effect on the stomach
»The use of soda or baking powder when baking bread is harmful and unnecessary. Soda causes inflammation of the stomach and often poisons the entire organism.«
Unsuitable for the human stomach
»Saleratus [sodium bicarbonate] in any form should not reach the stomach, for its effect is terrible. It eats away the lining of the stomach, causes inflammation and often poisons the entire organism.«
Digestive organs are damaged
»Hot rolls that have been leavened with soda or baking powder should never appear on our tables. Such compounds are unsuitable for entering the stomach.«
Health consequences for entire families
»Yellow saleratus rolls and heavy, sticky bread destroy the digestive organs of tens of thousands.«
