If not, there is a lot of positive belief about. Do not confuse the issue that CS does not easily react with acids with the issue that acids can cause aggregation of the silver particles. These are two entirely two entirely different issues. The aggregaton with ascorbic acid is not a reaction in the chemical sense, it is simply an aggragation. Silver is almost inert, and does not react with much of anything without at elevated temperature except for sulfur compounds which causes tarnish.
