Ellen White does not mention "chocolate" directly in the available book sources. However, she does speak extensively about diet, the use of stimulating foods, and the dangers of rich desserts, sweets, and confections. Here are some relevant points from her writings: - She warns against the use of "stimulating foods" and "rich desserts," which would include many chocolate products of her time, as they were often made with sugar, milk, and sometimes alcohol (MH 339.1; CTBH 44.3, 46.3, 47.1). - She specifically cautions about the use of large amounts of sugar and milk, which are common ingredients in chocolate confections, stating that they "clog the system, irritate the digestive organs, and affect the brain" and that "sugar, when largely used, is more injurious than meat" (Testimonies for the Church 2:370; HL 62.7, HL 167.1). - She advises against sweet cakes, puddings, and custards, which would often include chocolate, as they "disorder the digestive organs" (The Youth's Instructor, May 31, 1894; HL 92.1). - She encourages a simple diet of fruits, grains, and vegetables, free from "spice and grease of all kinds," and discourages the use of foods that stimulate the appetite or are difficult to digest (CTBH 47.1, HL 78.6). In summary, while Ellen White does not address chocolate by name in the sources reviewed, her general counsel on diet suggests caution or avoidance of rich, sweet, and stimulating foods, which would include most chocolate products of her era. If you would like me to search in other collections (such as manuscripts or periodicals) for a more direct reference to chocolate, please let me know! References: - White, E. G. (1905).
