On the other hand, she may not be lying. May be she has no idea about the coffee connection and heart health.
My reaction is similar: why does it matter? As in, why are you wasting your energy worrying about her motives on Facebook?

If you are concerned and wondering why she is behaving that way, I think you could politely point out the next time she posts about guzzling energy drinks "Don't you have a heart condition? I'm curious, doesn't drinking an energy drink affect your heart condition? Please be careful."

Then you've kinda pointed it out, but also expressed your concern.

But trying to understand why people post anything on Facebook is futile. Everyone is vying for attention, that's the whole point.
