Is Ellen White wrong? "But if anything is needed to quench thirst, pure water drank some little time before or after the meal is all that nature requires. Never take tea, coffee, beer, wine, or any spirituous liquors. Water is the best liquid possible to cleanse the tissues" {RH, July 29, 1884 par. 7}. So first, one would have to excuse the cost for these better hydration drinks, therefore, already they are liars. God never intended for us to spend $59.88 for just twelve cans to refresh the body. Then, in looking into the ingredients, we find that many of them are not good for the body, including: caffeinated green tea, natural flavors, flavoring, etc. So no, Ellen White is not wrong. It is what is considered acceptable by society that is wrong.
