Don't quote me on that -- I'm going from memory and I actually went and looked at
our nearest toilet, but it doesn't say what the capacity is.

Any plumbers out there who can read toiletese? ;-)
I'm neither a plumber nor fluent in toiletese, but I suspect the first
number is the tank capacity, while the second refers to the total amount
of water per flush.

If the recommendations were changed to not include caffeine, why not, since
we know the following about it? I read or heard on the radio that caffeine
takes calcium from the bones. If this is true, it seems likely that it
should be included.

We talked about this issue today with a couple of sister customers in our
bookstore. They both recall that when they were married (many moons ago),
it was taught that caffeine was against the WoW. They said it was in the

though it definitely does, but because of what the first few verses of DC

Church.
Jon,
It appears that the generally accepted definition of hot drinks may
have been fairly broad for a period of time. A quote from Widtsoe's
1937 book on the Word of Wisdom--
Caffeine, the essential principle of tea and coffee, was discovered, as
a chemical substance, a few years before the

Because the WoW is not so much a health law as it is a spiritual law.
It is one of the ways that the Church uses to determine which members
are serious about the restored gospel
Sorry - that drink is against my religion. I use Dr. Pepper.
