No offense to your sister, but I've heard a lot of crap prefaced with "$PERSON works in $FIELD, and they said...". Her suggestion is demonstrably one of those things, as other data [and, no, I'm not finding a goddamn citation] imply that there's little basis for her suggestion.

Yeah man, my boss is a programmer and doesn't see any reason why he shouldn't use global variables any time he feels like it. That doesn't mean he's right!

Do you need a scientist to flush toilet? Basically, it's same, but for your body.

Basically, it's same

Your urinary tract is made of porcelain? "It's basically the same..." is the preface to a lot of urban myths about health.
