The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints has no official stance on caffeine consumption. However, some members choose to avoid consuming caffeine as part of their own personal health practices or as a way to live the Word of Wisdom, a health code given to members of the Church.
The Word of Wisdom, found in the Doctrine and Covenants, prohibits the consumption of alcohol, tobacco, and coffee and tea. It encourages the consumption of healthy foods, including fruits, vegetables, and grains. While caffeine is found in some of the prohibited substances, it is not specifically mentioned in the Word of Wisdom.
Ultimately, the decision to consume caffeine is a personal one and should be made based on individual health needs and beliefs. Members are encouraged to seek guidance from the Holy Spirit and make their own decisions about caffeine consumption.
It is important to note that while caffeine itself is not prohibited, excessive consumption or dependence on caffeine can have negative health effects. As such, moderation and balance are always encouraged in all aspects of life, including caffeine consumption.
