I spent 8 years living in Southern Idaho, had a higher % of the

that was Mormon than most parts of Utah. The stricter ones tended to
avoid
Cola, coffee, etc., anything with caffeine, along with Tobacco and

It seemed to be a belief practiced in degrees. An "Ultra-Orthodox
Sect"
on another planet may just, as mentioned above, take it to an extreme.
