Is diet green tea bad for children?
Patient: Is diet green tea bad for children?. I have recently went on a diet to loose weight and wanted to know if diet green tea is good for loosing weight?. My 6 year old daughter drunk some diet green tea and a few hours later she was complaining about her head hurting. Took her to the doctors office and her doctor said it was bad for her. Just wanted to get a second openion. Doctor: dear parent please dont forget that green tea contains caffeine,  of course in lower concentration than red tea and coffee..  thats why we dont recommend drinking green tea for children
