Caffeination
July 21st, 2009
Is the consumption of caffeinated beverages a violation of God’s commandments (or, the Word of Wisdom)?
“With reference to the cola drinks, the Church has never officially taken any attitude on this matter…but I personally do not put them in the class as with the tea and coffee because the Lord specifically mentioned them [the hot drinks]…
I might say also that strychnine and sleeping pills and opium and heroin are not mentioned in the Word of Wisdom and yet I would discourage them will all my power…”
Teachings of Spencer W. Kimball, page 202
