Today it is well recognized that overeating and overweight produce much ill health. This is one of the few areas in which all professional nutritionists agree. Mrs. White wrote, “There should not be a great variety at any one meal, for this encourages overeating and causes indigestion.”— Ibid., p. 299. “Abstemiousness in diet is rewarded with mental and moral vigor.” “At each meal take only two or three kinds of simple food, and eat no more than is required to satisfy hunger.”— Ibid., pp. 308, 310. . . .

Today many people are restricting their use of salt in order to lower their blood pressure or in the hope of preventing high blood pressure. Attempts are made to keep the sodium intake low by using baked products made with yeast instead of baking powder. Mrs. White wrote, “Do not eat largely of salt.” “The use of soda or baking powder in bread making is harmful and unnecessary.”— Ibid., pp. 305, 300. . . . CD-SG 42.6
