Mormon eating and drinking customs.

What I REALLY want to know about the Book of Mormon is whether or not Nephites drank Grape Nephi! Or was it Pale Lay Ale? Orange Nephi? Inquiring minds want to know!

If obeying the Word of Wisdom—which tells us to abstain from coffee, tea, alcohol and tobacco—is important for our exaltation, why did Jesus say that there is nothing that can enter a man to make him defiled (Mark 7:15)?

I remember hearing somewhere that the first comma in the current edition of Doctrine & Covenants 89:13 is an error. Has anyone else heard this? Can anyone confirm or disprove this? Thanks!

God revealed the "Word of Wisdom" (D&C 89) as a health guide for the Saints. Why did he not mention the necessity of boiling questionable water, avoiding excessive salt, avoiding obesity, washing hands after voiding?

Why does the GA treat D&C 89 like it's a commandment or constraint when it specifically says that it's NOT! It says in verse 2, "To be sent greeting; not by commandment or constraint, but by revelation and the word of wisdom..."

Why doesn't the LDS Church switch from water to grape juice for sacrament? This isn't a violation of D&C 27 and grape juice has been available since 1869. In fact D&C 27:4 could be interpreted as a prophecy of this change.

Why do non-Mormons keep on suggesting that Mormons do not eat tinned food. True, Joseph Smith didn't eat timmed food, but then again, there wasn't much tinned food around when he was with us.
