DESSERTS THE most wholesome desserts are fruits in their natural state, and nuts. Fruits may be served raw or cooked, fresh or dried, and should form a part of every day's dietary. Because of their attractive colors, sweet aroma, and delicious flavors, fruits are the very best appetizers, appealing1 to the senses of sight, smell, and taste. They satisfy a natural craving for something dainty at meals, without burdening the system with extra work, and with little danger of excess. As it is written, "Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat." Genesis 2:16. No danger of "auto-intoxication" here; but, on the other hand, fruit acids are cleansing, and their alkaline substances are valuable for improving the condition of the blood.
