		<description><![CDATA[I am a convert to the church, I joined when I was 30 years old, and so I have no preconceived ideas about the Word of Wisdom.  After reading the WoW for the last twelve years and studying everything I could find on it I still have a question about wheat being the staff of [...]]]></description>

		<title>Kombucha</title>
		<description><![CDATA[&#8220;Is Kombucha contrary to the Word of Wisdom?

		<description><![CDATA[&#8220;How can it be that with so many temple attending, word of wisdom followers. so many of them are grossly overweight, to put it mildly?&#8221; (Jim) For the same reason that so many of them are not overweight.]]></description>

		<title>What makes tea and coffee against the W of W?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[&#8220;What is it about the Camellia sinensis or tea plant that makes tea that comes from that plant against the Word of Wisdom? What is it about the coffee that makes it against the Word of Wisdom? On my mission, we told people it produced tars and other things that were bad for your body. [...]]]></description>

		<title>Is herbal tea against the Word of Wisdom?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[“Do you have a citation that states that Camellia sinensis is the reason  tea is against the Word of Wisdom? I’m a bit sorry to admit that I used to drink tea—both black and herbal—before joining the Church of Jesus Christ, but have never done so since my baptism because it was—and is—my understanding that [...]]]></description>

		<title>Thai Iced Tea</title>
		<description><![CDATA[&#8220;What about Thai Iced Tea? This beverage uses Thai Red Tea leaves, but I am not sure if it is related to Camellia sinensis. I have heard of Red Tea called Roibos from an unrelated plant, but I am not sure if this is what is used in a Thai Iced Tea.&#8221; (Todd) Hey Todd, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Herbal green tea</title>
		<description><![CDATA[&#8220;Have you ever heard of an &#8220;Herbal&#8221; green tea?  There is a restaurant where I live (Utah) that makes &#8220;Bubble Tea&#8221; smoothies.  Owned and operated by a &#8220;returned missionary&#8221; who claims that they use an &#8220;herbal&#8221;, non-caffeinated, green tea that is not against the word of wisdom.  What do you think?&#8221; (Tara) Hi Tara, As [...]]]></description>

		<title>Obesity</title>
		<description><![CDATA[&#8220;I do wonder why so many obese people in the ward where I attend have temple recommends. Why is that obesity is not considered a sin in the church?&#8221; (Pat) Thanks for writing, Pat. A couple of thoughts. Regarding the temple recommends, you will need to talk to those who issued them. The temple recommend [...]]]></description>

		<title>If they are so harmful . . .</title>
		<description><![CDATA[&#8220;If coffee, tea and beer are so harmful to us why has the church not addressed obesity?&#8221; (Jim) The Word of Wisdom does not specify that those things are forbidden because they are harmful. In fact, there are many studies that report tea is healthy for us. Either way, it probably would be good for [...]]]></description>

		<title>Tea in Joseph Smith’s day</title>
		<description><![CDATA[&#8220;Tea in Joseph Smith&#8217;s day was black tea. Now that the Church is world-wide in scope and the Word of Wisdom is an eternal principle of &#8216;obedience&#8217;, I would assume each culture would literally have its &#8216;tea&#8217; or &#8216;Temple Recommend&#8217; worthy point. As I learned this morning, in Japan it is clearly understood to be [...]]]></description>
