Storm Rider Posted July 5, 2011 Posted July 5, 2011 Caffeine has nothing to do with the Word of Wisdom. It is not in keeping with the Sprit of the Word of Wisdom or the letter of the same law. The Word of Wisdom is not an eternal principle; it is solely for the current mortal period and it will be done away with when the Savior returns to partake of the fruit of the vine with the saints.
Messenger Posted July 5, 2011 Posted July 5, 2011 (edited) chocolate caffiene content according to Hersey'sCoffee Caffiene Content for various types/brands of coffee. There is a big difference here between a serving of coffee several times a day and a chocolate bar once in a while. Also remember that caffeine is not the only part of the law. Its obedience to the law and helping us understand the connection between it and the spirit of the law. Eating too much chocolate would also be a violation of the spirit of the Word of Wisdom. I suspect most people that have trouble with the Word of Wisdom also have trouble understanding the Spirit of any law.IMO Edited July 5, 2011 by Messenger
Calm Posted July 5, 2011 Posted July 5, 2011 (edited) Also remember that caffeine is not the only part of the law. Caffeine is not any part of the law save for a personal interpretation. Edited July 5, 2011 by calmoriah
alter idem Posted July 5, 2011 Posted July 5, 2011 The bishop in my ward has a bowl of chocolates on his desk..And I have 50 lbs of semi sweet chocolate chips in my food storage (which actually get rotated) and yet I have no trouble answering 'yes' in my Temple Recommend interviews when asked if I live the Word of Wisdom. That's because I DO live the Word of Wisdom AND I eat chocolate.There is nothing in the Word of Wisdom about chocolate. There is nothing in the Word of Wisdom about caffeine. Since I am aware that caffeine is a stimulant, I am careful about consuming it, but I know that I CAN consume it at times, without violating the letter or the spirit of the Word of Wisdom. I also don't worry about it because I am aware that I consume products which have small amounts of alcohol in them, and yet, I'm still in compliance. One obvious example is Vanilla extract, which I use for baking and cooking on a regular basis; other flavorings have alcohol in them also. Many OTC cold medicines have alcohol. I'm sure that others here on the message board would be happy to make a list of regular products that most LDS use that contain alcohol as well. In small amounts and depending on how it's used, it has it's purposes and is no more harmful than some other ingredients--which we were not warned against because people weren't in the habit of imbibing at the time that it was given. What the saints were warned against was the habitual drinking of certain products--Alcohol, black/green tea, and coffee. We've been asked as a condition of worthiness to abstain from consuming these products. Some LDS may wish to go the extra mile and not use any product with these ingredients, even in small amounts--that's fine for them--but it is not a requirement to be in compliance with the 'word of wisdom' as outlined in the Temple recommend interview and they're going to have some difficulty doing this unless they are of the belief that 'the alcohol cooks out of it' when using extracts etc, but that's only when used in baking.The Word of Wisdom was given to help us avoid products which are seriously addictive, unhealthy and can diminish a person's exercise of agency, impair their ability to feel and be guided by the spirit and even ruin family relationships. So far, I've never heard of caffeine having this kind of devastating effect--even if a person drinks tons of caffeinated soda, I've not heard of them becoming homeless and drinking themselves to death. While tea and coffee don't have the same danger as alcoholic beverages, they are very much stimulants, very addicting and they affect people's moods and health--much more so than soda, IMO and this can cause problems in how a person relates to others on a daily basis.
Craig Paxton Posted July 5, 2011 Author Posted July 5, 2011 lest use Craig Paxtons logic, caffienated coffee bad decaf ok. He then states "it must be because of caffiene". So using his logic, if "hot drinks" was about caffeine then the LDS could not eat chocolate either. So using his logic, since LDS can eat chocolate and chocolate contains caffeine then caffeine must not be reason behind, and from what I can find decaf coffee has caffeine in it.Also IIRC President Monson has made mention of eating chocolate. Secondly I knew a family, the dad is now a SP, but this family would not allow caffienated drinks in their house, but they did allow chocolate of all stripes.edited for Alter Diem, I am not positive as to President Monson mentioning chocolate.Ok so the WoW isn't about Caffeine use, I'm more than willing to concede that point...So in other words, Caffeine is perfectly ok to consume, irrespective of the means used to consume it. But then I wonder...Ummmm....why all the admonitions against the use of caffeine in various Ensign articles...if it's not about the caffeine. I guess the church just had some extra ink they wanted to use up and thought that maybe a random article on Caffeine would be the perfect subject to use that ink on. Yup makes perfect sense. Good to know that caffeine use isn't a concern though. http://lds.org/search?lang=eng&query=Caffeine 1
thesometimesaint Posted July 5, 2011 Posted July 5, 2011 Craig Paxton:I wouldn't say that caffeine is perfectly ok to use. In the small amounts in things like chocolate there is no evidence that it is harmful. The sugar content of most chocolates is of greater concern.

Follow your heart and your instinct, wherever they lead you. The wealth in your pocket can buy you treats that a Mayan king would envy. Take joy in that first bite of lecithin emulsified cocoa, and in the last satisfying slurp of Yoo-Hoo. Yet you must be wary of deceit. Eat not of that which is called "baking chocolate", for it is vile and bitter. Lastly, always remember to leave some chocolate behind you. Be not greedy, but let yourself be known as a conoisseur. Leave a little for someone else. I am with you always, just over your shoulder, or around the next corner. I am the Lord of Chocolate, and when you have reached the end of you hoard, I will never be further away from you than that 7-Eleven on the corner.

Good to know that caffeine use isn't a concern though. http://lds.org/searc...&query=CaffeineCraig which of those do you consider "admonitions". I just check two selection randomly one is a non-answer which I will postIs there anything wrong with drinking sodas with caffeine in them? Is caffeine bad? The Word of Wisdom doesn’t mention it. 02244_000_023 Doctrine and Covenants 89:9 says we shouldn’t drink “hot drinks.” The only official interpretation of this term is the statement made by early Church leaders that it means tea and coffee. Caffeine is not specifically mentioned as the reason not to drink these drinks. However, we should keep in mind this counsel given by President Boyd K. Packer: “The Word of Wisdom was ‘given for a principle with promise’ (D&C 89:3). … A principle is an enduring truth, a law, a rule you can adopt to guide you in making decisions. Generally principles are not spelled out in detail. Members write in asking if this thing or that is against the Word of Wisdom. … We teach the principle together with the promised blessings. There are many habit-forming, addictive things that one can drink or chew or inhale or inject which injure both body and spirit which are not mentioned in the revelation. … Obedience to counsel will keep you on the safe side of life” (“The Word of Wisdom: The Principle and the Promises,” Ensign, May 1996, 17–18).The other link I checked states this:“At no time has cocoa or chocolate been included in the prohibitions of the Word of Wisdom, and at no time has the Church said that cocoa is as harmful as coffee. “Those who make these claims do so on their own responsibility, and obviously without knowing the facts of the matter. “When interviewing for temple recommends, for instance, or for advancement in the priesthood, or for baptism, or for any other purpose, bishops never inquire as to whether a person drinks cocoa or eats chocolate candy. If the use of cocoa and chocolate were against the doctrine of the Church such inquiry would be made, but it is not.I will continue checking the articles, but I would like you input on which ones you see as admonitions against caffiene. I would also note that several of the articles reference "high doses" of caffeine. Two references to caffeine come from General Conference, and neither is a statement against it.

Rivers Posted July 5, 2011 Posted July 5, 2011 I admit that it doesn't make perfect logical sense why members of the church can't drink hot caffeine, but are allowed to drink cold caffeine.It also doesn't make any sense why many members of the church shun any movie with an R rating while at the same time reading books with R rated material.
LeSellers Posted July 5, 2011 Posted July 5, 2011 (edited) I admit that it doesn't make perfect logical sense why members of the church can't drink hot caffeine, but are allowed to drink cold caffeine.Repeatedly in this topic, we have seen that this assertion is simply untrue. The Word of Wisdom does not prohibit caffeine, cold or hot. It prohibits hot drinks, which are, by revealed definition, tea and coffee. Even in their cold form (iced tea/coffee), they are still prohibited. Lehi Edited July 5, 2011 by LeSellers

Messenger Posted July 5, 2011 Posted July 5, 2011 Cal,There is plenty of evidence that caffeine can be addictive. Most stimulants are. While it is true that caffeine is not specifically mentioned in any "law', like most 'laws' they simply don’t work without the spirit, or what some might call personal interpretation. “Leaders of the Church have advised, and we do now specifically advise, against the use of any drink containing harmful habit-forming drugs under circumstances that would result in acquiring the habit. Any beverage that contains ingredients harmful to the body should be avoided”But much has been published by the church in recent years. This articles below pretty much spell it out. I suppose it could be the authors own personal opinion, but remember, the author of the first article is a doctor publishing for the church, and is on the church website located here (http://lds.org/ensign/2008/12/the-energy-drink-epidemic?lang=eng&query=Caffeine+Sports+Drinks )The Energy Drink Epidemic By Thomas J. Boud, MDWhat are the consequences of high caffeine consumption? First and foremost, caffeine is a central nervous system stimulant that can lead to addiction. Both as a doctor and as a member of the Church, I recognize the physical, mental, and spiritual dangers of any addictive substance. Any addictive behavior, whatever the source, can lead to a loss of spiritual health and freedom.President James E. Faust (1920–2007) said, “Some addictions can control us to the point where they take away our God-given agency. One of Satan’s great tools is to find ways to control us. Consequently, we should abstain from anything that would keep us from fulfilling the Lord’s purposes for us, whereby the blessings of eternity may hang in jeopardy. … Any kind of addiction inflicts a terrible price in pain and suffering, and it can even affect us spiritually.”Not all caffeinated drinks are created equal; the quantity of caffeine varies greatly from product to product. To put this into perspective, consider that most cola soft drinks have from 22 to 55 milligrams (mg) of caffeine, compared to a common cup of tea that varies from 26 to 47 mg. Coffee may have from 57 mg for a cup of instant to 180 mg for a cup of brewed. By comparison, energy drinks may have from 80 to 500 mg of caffeine in one can. 2 Companies compete to market the product that provides the biggest jolt. To do this, manufacturers combine caffeine with other substances such as alcohol in order to intensify its effects. These beverages often come in large containers and are frequently loaded with calorie-heavy sugars.-----------------I have a questionChurch Source Link: http://lds.org/ensign/1981/01/staying-healthy-welfare-services-suggests-how?lang=eng&query=Caffeine+Sports+DrinksQ. What are the health consequences of drinking caffeine drinks other than coffee? What is the position of the Church regarding their use?A. The full answer to this question lies in the area of medical opinion and reliance on personal discernment. Cola beverages do contain caffeine and thus may be avoided in accordance with the spirit of the Word of Wisdom. The most current Church literature relating to the question is found in a Priesthood Bulletin statement dated February 1972:“With reference to cola drinks, the Church has never officially taken a position on this matter, but the leaders of the Church have advised, and we do now specifically advise, against the use of any drink containing harmful habit-forming drugs under circumstances that would result in acquiring the habit. Any beverage that contains ingredients harmful to the body should be avoided.”-----------------So in my opinion, like most drugs, if a doctor has prescribed it, which some actually do, then it’s fine. But I have to say that if it is habit forming, which caffeine is, then it’s pretty clear that it does indeed go against the word of wisdom, both written and spirit according to the articles above.Is there really any true dispute?
Jeff K. Posted July 6, 2011 Posted July 6, 2011 I think the caffine issue is something of a strawman in regard to the Word of Wisdom.
KevinG Posted July 6, 2011 Posted July 6, 2011 Ok so the WoW isn't about Caffeine use, I'm more than willing to concede that point...So in other words, Caffeine is perfectly ok to consume, irrespective of the means used to consume it.

Good to know that caffeine use isn't a concern though. http://lds.org/searc...&query=CaffeineYour concession does not necessarily mean your understanding of the word of wisdom. Caffeine by implication may be avoided in larger doses as a stimulant and an addictive substance. That is not something expressly stated in the WoW but for many Saints it may be best for them to avoid it.It is an unprofitable servant that needs commanded in all things. 1

Messenger Posted July 6, 2011 Posted July 6, 2011 (edited) It is an unprofitable servant that needs commanded in all things.Exactly! The ten commandments are simply a more descriptive version of the original two. Once you understand the concept, the need for the 10 specific commandments is moot and all the other ones that follow. This is exactly the same as the word of wisdom. In fact, one might say the 10 commandments in fact does have the main concept of the original two. Those are the ones (I believe) Moses came down from the mountain with the first time. His followers didnt understand, so he had to haul his butt all the way back up there and ended up with the 10 commandments. The truth is also found here:Mathew 2236. Master, which is the great commandment in the law?37. Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt alove the Lord thy God with all thy bheart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy cmind.38. This is the first and great acommandment.39. And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt alove thy neighbour as thyself.40. On these two commandments hang all the alaw and the prophets.If you love yourself, you would never put addictive things into your body, unless there was a medical reason. Further, if you love God, why would you cut yourself off from his communication by doing so? Love God, Love yourself... Everything else falls into place. Edited July 6, 2011 by Messenger

The spirit of the law my friend. Temple recommends interviews are more about the letter of the law than the spirit of the law. I never said anybody couldnt get a temple recommend if they drank cola. But, as I have pointed out, there are health issues regarding it. Some quite serious. In some of those cases, its pretty clear that one might not be able to perform ones duty - in the temple or gaining inspiration for a calling. Whats the difference?

frankenstein Posted July 6, 2011 Posted July 6, 2011 I've answered your question, now will you answer mine?whats your question?
Messenger Posted July 6, 2011 Posted July 6, 2011 What’s the difference? What is the difference between being cut off from the spirit, not being able to gain inspiration for your responsibilities (family, calling, etc etc etc) and the letter of the law which states no hot drinks? If they both have the same outcome, then there isn’t a difference except that one allows you to interview positively for a temple recommend and the other does not. But, what good is a temple recommend if you cannot gain inspiration when you actually go to the temple? So, I ask you again ... What is the difference?Frankie, do you think it’s possible that you don’t want to understand? Or, do you think there is something in the way of you understanding? To me it’s simple. That’s why I gave the scripture about what concept hangs all the laws of the prophets. There aren’t a million commandments, but there are enough for us to figure out a pattern to them, and some very inspired people that are pretty clear about how the church feels about addictions.If a person doesn’t know if they are addicted to caffeine or not, to find out, simply put it down and get it out of your house. If you feel the actual need to have it, and have withdrawal symptoms such as headaches and irritability, then you are in fact addicted. If you are, then you are more than likely missing out on those delicate inspirations that speak truth. Get it?
