Biblical Drink?
Question
Dear sirs, I have type 2 diabetes and have noticed Jewish people talking about not having it or maybe 1% do. They speak of a drink mentioned in the Bible over 6 times that appears to prevent diseases like type 2.
Do you know what the drink is?
Answer
Shalom!
Thank you for your question.
Wine and beer are the most commonly mentioned drinks in Scripture. However, there is no mention of any drink have a specific medicinal benefit.
So too, there is no mention of diabetes anywhere in Scripture.
