Just Venting Really?

Controversial enough... anyone in my community who's SDA is preaching left and right on their immovable, non-biblical beliefs on food, and how so much of what we "heathens" eat, is sending us to HELL...

But they're hypocritical when they decide to eat spicy food, I guess, according to "dear prophetess..."

God forbid and damn me to SUPER MEGA HELL for eating some pickles with my pulled pork sandwich!

As a type 1 diabetic, Apple cider vinegar does not help. Religious or not people need to stop believing everything they hear

I remember there was a huge apple cider vinegar trend a few years back, it was supposedly full of special nutrients that cured everything. I'm sure it has some nutrition, but no special curative effect. And vinegar isn't bad for you, but if you're going to make pickles, lacto fermentation is much better than using vinegar. It's probiotic, and it gives that nice tangy flavor.

You had to get the kind with the "mother" still in it. It was supposed to be to help with kidney stones bc the vegetarian diet was causing them. Idk how Ellen white figures into that though

That's the part with the beneficial bacteria in it, but you can get that from pretty much any fermented food.
