Jeanette Rusk Sefcik: Coffee or soda. Which is really ‘wiser’?

It is time for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints to take a new look at its dated Word of Wisdom.

If church leadership prioritizes the health of its members, it must consider new contravening evidence that the demonized “hot drink” coffee is way better for you than the tremendous quantities of soda that members drink as a caffeine substitute.

Full disclosure before I continue, I am of “Mormon” heritage (it’s OK to say Mormon because that’s what my ancestors and family called themselves). The arguments I present here are offered with respect for the LDS Church and its faithful members.
