Yes, but the dose makes the poison. I quote from Dr. Eade's blogpost http://diagnosisdiet.com/ketosis-week-4/:

Notes: My tablespoon measure must be very inaccurate, because I was measuring out cream in tablespoons and had calculated I’d need 9.5 tablespoons of cream to bring my total fat grams today to approximately the same as yesterday. However, by the time I got to 9.5 tablespoons, the pint of cream I’d bought was practically empty, and a pint contains 16 tablespoons…oops…so I overshot my fat/calories today and this may affect the experiment.

In my world, 1 pint of cream contains 32 Tablespoons. I drink between 1 and 2 tablespoons of cream per day. Like most foods, the amount of cream (and therefore number of carbs) is going to be a factor in blood glucose and insulin response. Even Atkins recommends an upper limit on cream.
EDIT: even if she got a pint and half-pint mixed up (which is my guess upon reflection), that's still a lot of cream for one day! 1/2 pint = 1 cup = 16 T.
