No, but it does reveal a distinct lack of understanding on her her part as to what these pseudoscientific health products even are that are supposedly doing things for her. Like saying "I always drink decaf coffee and pop a shot of 5 hour energy in the morning." "I drink skim milk with a splash of double cream." "I love honey on my keto toast." Like, even if it's not enough acidity to completely negate the alkalinity, it's literally antithetical to the supposed goal.

I am reminded of the detail in The Office where Michael Scott is stirring sugar into his diet coke.

All the posts advocating for combining baking soda and vinegar for cleaning.

I mean... if you want to clean up a bunch of salts you're creating.
