Resumo de The Origin Of Postum - Dorthy Eaton Watts

The Origin of PostumPart of the health reform message taught by Adventists for more than a hundred and fifty years is the importance of honouring God through what we drink. Alcoholic beverages are out completely. Tea and coffee and other drinks containing caffeine are among those items Adventists are encouraged to avoid because of the adverse affects upon the body.No one who came to the Battle Creek Sanitarium in 1901 was given tea or coffee. Instead, they were given something called ?Minute Brew? which was made from roasted grains. It mattered not that the patients might be such famous individuals as John D. Rockefeller, Henry Ford, or Charles W. Post.Charles W. Post wheeled himself into the laboratory to talk with Dr. Harvey Kellogg?s assistants. He watched them roasting wheat, barley, and other grains. He noticed how they ground them to a fine powder and then mixed with water to make a coffee substitute.?Mmm! This is not bad!? post remarked. ?Not only is it good, but it is a healthful drink. There should be a market for this. Dr. Kellogg why don?t you and I go into the manufacturing of this drink for popular consumption??Dr. Kellogg was not interested. That did not deter Charles Post. He returned to the lab day after day and took careful notes on how things were done. This disturbed W. K. Kellogg, the younger brother of the doctor.?We have to do something about Charles Post?s visits to the lab,? W.K. told his brother. ?I fear he is stealing the formula and will market the brew himself.??Let him, by all means,? Dr. Kellogg said with a chuckle. ?Anything that will get people to drink less coffee is all right with me.?After leaving the hospital, greatly improved in health, Charles Post came out with a product called ?Postum? as a healthful substitute for coffee. The sales were excellent and still found on grocery shelves in the United States of America today. In India also, a similar product known as coffee cereal, one of the health products was, produced by Spicer Memorial College Industry.Are you fond of Coffee and tea? Try also cereal coffee and tea made from herbs such as fresh mint. Like Charles Post you will discover you will be more alert and sleep better at night without the use of caffeine filled drinks. This is because your healthy living is vital for the health of your family, nation and world.
