The pursuit of an absolutely "non-toxic" morning routine is illusory, as toxicity depends solely on dosage, and the accumulation of complex, unproven rituals (such as hydrogen water or fluoride-free toothpaste) generates mental stress that harms our general well-being more than the supposed benefits of these practices.

Abbey Sharp's idea that an obsession with purity generates anxiety that is deleterious to well-being is validated by research. An observational study published in *Frontiers* directly links the obsessive quest for healthy rituals to a form of mental distress (type: observational). Her skepticism regarding hydrogen tablets is also well-founded: a systematic review published in the *International Journal of Molecular Sciences* concludes that while some preliminary studies suggest antioxidant effects, the evidence remains too weak to recommend widespread use (type: systematic review of clinical trials). Regarding fluoride, the World Health Organization (WHO) consistently reaffirms its essential protective role for enamel, making its avoidance scientifically unfounded (type: expert opinion). Finally, the creatine she validates has solid evidence, confirmed by meta-analyses for supporting vitality and recovery (type: meta-analysis).
