[quote=Anonymous]The Word of Wisdom is where all of this is from--avoid hot drinks, tobacco, and strong drinks. I think it was common health advice during the time Joseph Smith came up with it (also some talk about how he included tea and coffee to stick it to his wife Emma, because she constantly drank it during women's meetings). It also says, basically, don't eat meat but that's conveniently ignored.

Some Mormons avoid all caffeine and alcohol (I know some who use imitation vanilla extract, etc). I'd say the majority just avoid coffee and tea, but it depends on the person. Herbal tea is fine for some but not others. For some people it's really important that you see them avoiding all of that and being super observant. It's the same as people who need to have the sign in their front yard about following science and the correct bumper sticker. It doesn't do anything but it's an easy outward display of beliefs.

I'd say most mormons are addicted to sugar and the popular drinks you're talking about have a lot of that (along with caffeine). Also the giant sugar cookies they sell at swig are very popular.
