}}</ref>
Seventh-day Adventist [[John Harvey Kellogg]], M. D., of Battle Creek, Michigan , was an important 19th century promoter of male circumcision. Although masturbation is never mentioned in the Bible, Dr. Kellogg believed that masturbation was immoral, sinful, and caused one to think "impure" thoughts, which he believed was harmful to the brain. He believed that the urge to masturbate could be prevented by eating mild foods, for which purpose, he and his brother invented corn flakes.
Dr. Kellogg perhaps is most famous for his book, ''Plain facts for young and old''(1888),<ref name="Kellogg1888">{{REFbook
