Yes, according to Ellen White's writings, it is advised to avoid hot sauce and similar spicy or highly seasoned condiments. She describes condiments such as mustard, pepper, spices, and pickles as "injurious in their nature," noting that they can irritate the stomach, make the blood "feverish and impure," and create cravings for more stimulating substances (MH 325). The use of these condiments and spices is said to weaken the system, contaminate the blood, and cause inflammation, with the recommendation that the less frequently they are used, the better for health (HL 92). Additionally, highly seasoned foods are linked to a "feverish state of the system," nervousness, and even a tendency to crave alcohol or other stimulants (HL 200; HL 92.4). Foods that are "very hot" in temperature are also discouraged, as they can debilitate the stomach (HL 91). Ellen White recommends that food should be "free from every irritating substance," including condiments, spices, and even an undue amount of salt (HL 92.4). In summary, her counsel is to avoid hot sauce and similar condiments for the sake of health, as they are believed to irritate the digestive system and lead to other negative effects.
