The Word of What Now? Why Mormons Can't Drink Coffee.

Dirty Soda, True Tea, and Brigham’s Bar: A Salty Dive into the Word of Wisdom.Mel and Claire (The Salty Hoes) catch up on a spa visit with Paulina at Spa Day, praising her Moonshine Versus Milk skincare line, then pivot to Mormon dietary rules inspired by “The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives” and dirty soda culture. They unpack the Word of Wisdom’s origins (Joseph Smith’s 1833 revelation, later formalized in 1852) and note it wasn’t consistently enforced until the early 1900s, with temple recommend requirements starting in 1921. Early leaders even drank coffee, tea, beer, and used wine for sacrament, and Brigham Young owned a bar. Reading Doctrine and Covenants 89, they discuss bans on alcohol, tobacco, and “hot drinks” (officially coffee and tea, not cocoa or herbal tea), caffeine debates, and the often-ignored instruction to eat meat sparingly and mainly in winter or famine, alongside health, anxiety, and virtue-signaling themes.00:00 Meet The Salty Hoes00:45 Spa Day With Paulina02:56 Beauty Standards Catchup05:36 Dirty Soda Culture08:56 No Coffee No Tea09:46 Word of Wisdom Origins13:53 Early Mormon Drinking17:57 Close Reading Begins19:41 Alcohol Rules Explained28:11 Tobacco Verse Breakdown32:20 Nicotine Brain Effects37:10 Smoking Genetics And Shame39:16 Compassion Over Shame40:22 Pray Away Myths41:24 Hot Drinks Debate42:17 Kombucha Chai Loopholes44:59 Hot Drinks History45:44 Ulcer Science Story49:41 Coffee Tea Health Data52:41 Pregnancy Body Trust57:42 Dirty Soda Caffeine Wars01:03:56 Mormon Tea 01:05:39 Meat Sparingly Verses01:09:41 Stewardship And Climate01:14:47 Promises Scrupulosity01:19:23 Wrap Up And Farewell
