Vanilla is listed as one of the intense, inflammatory, and stimulatory spices. It comes from the pod or shell of the fruit of an orchid native to Mexico and other Central American countries. Its delicate, sweet flavor and aroma make it very well-suited for the preparation of chocolate, ice cream and sweets in general. It has positive effects on the stomach and on digestion in small doses. It also promotes choleresis (increased bile secretion), and acts as a stimulant (that is a central nervous system (CNS) stimulant).
THE DOCTOR SAID:
“I am always weary of things that stimulate our CNS because they affect our ability to tell right from wrong and make good decisions. Have you noticed how many things now come in Vanilla flavor (i.e. soy milk and so on). I tell people that when their recipes call for vanilla to substitute the same amount of 100% maple syrup and it gives a similar flavor - or just leave it out altogether.”
So, you see this is a FERMENTED product and we are counseled not to eat fermented foods.
JUST LIKE THE BIBLE DOESN'T SAY SUNDAY LAW…but we know from putting the pieces together there is one coming. And the Bible does not say do not smoke, but we know there is another language telling us not to smoke.
Bible:
1 Corinthians 10:31 – Whether therefore ye eat, or drink, or whatsoever ye do, do all to the glory of God.
Sister White talks about fermentation and how it should not be allowed in the stomach, that we should not eat overripe food, and our fruit & veggies should be FRESH...put it all together and THAT = DON'T EAT FERMENTED FOODS BECAUSE THEY ARE NOT FRESH.
SHE SAYS "ROTTEN"...FERMENTATION = ROTTEN/AGED... IT HAS FERMENTED
Here is a quote about cider fermenting and not being good.
“I have often heard people say, “Oh! this is only sweet cider. It is perfectly harmless and even healthful.” Several quarts, perhaps gallons, are carried home. For a few days, it is sweet; then FERMENTATION BEGINS. The sharp taste makes it all the more acceptable to many palates, and the lover of sweet wine and cider is loth to admit that his favorite beverage ever becomes hard and sour.” {CTBH 32.3}
Here is a quote talking about the Lord's Supper and nothing fermented is to be used....so I believe we should NOT use it either!
Correct Representation.--The broken bread and pure juice of the grape are to represent the broken body and spilled blood of the Son of God. Bread that is leavened must not come on the communion table; unleavened bread is the only correct representation of the Lord's Supper. Nothing fermented is to be used. Only the pure fruit of the vine and the unleavened bread are to be used. (RH June 7, 1898).
QUESTION: Is fermented fresh? She says we are to eat fruit and vegetables as fresh as possible.
Look up “fermented” “ferment” “ferments” “fermentation” “rotten” “decayed”
“...All should be acquainted with the special value of fruit and vegetables fresh from the orchard and garden.” {SpTB17b 1
That quote says...“FRESH FROM THE GARDEN
NOT FERMENTED…WE ARE TO EAT THEM “FRESH” meaning, new, not old.
Fermented Foods Cause The Following Problems
- Contaminates the blood.
- Possess harmful properties as well as affects the cells of the body.
- Prevents the digestion of foods.
- Fermented foods are low in nutrition.
- Fermentation decreases some vitamin and mineral availability.
- Causes disease.
The food does not digest, but decays or putrefies; as a consequence, the blood is not nourished, but becomes filled with impurities, and liver and kidney difficulties appear.
